"u-blox entering the L1/L2 market (via the F9P) may turn out to be a significant moment in robotics history.
Unlike some players, u-blox generally under-promises and over-delivers."

"Hyun,
Have you inquired to Andy at ComNav directly?
Keep in mind, if you can't get a good price on the k501g, that you can pick up Unicore's UB352 (GPS/GLONASS L1/L2 20hz) for ~600USD.

"Hi Adam,
Thanks for reading! Few thoughts:
Have you contacted Swift and asked for a refund? I think you may find you'll be $1000 richer without much headache :)
I was able to do several hours of field testing with the Reach this weekend. It's…"

How much is this unit - k501g? Less than USD 300 per unit?"

"Henrik -- I'm inclined to take you up on your offer. I've got access to an Emlid Reach. Looks like we need to set up a k501g vs M8P vs REACH shown down! Henrik Christophersen said:
Roby, Yes x 3. Preliminary data sheet is attached. …"

"Henrik, Your board with the positional LEDs is super slick. I'm digging that! Did you design it? Is it open source / or are you going to market it?
Hey, you're absolutely right that "tough environment" isn't at all scientific. My backyard testing…"

"Thanks Henrik!
I'd love to hear more about the M8P's performance in tough environments. Also, can you speak to it's re-acquisition time after losing fix?

"Chris, out of curiosity I tried the Piksi again a month or so back -- performance still bad.
Chris Anderson said:
BTW, I have a Piksi, too, but never got it working well. Should I give up, or have the software updates in the past year or so made it…"

"Thanks Chris! Hey man, big personal thanks to you for your entire body of work over the past decade -- I've benefitted enormously (silently 'till now) from Pixhawk and this entire community."
Guys,If you need precise GNSS for your robots then you need RTK. If you don't know much about RTK, you may lose a lot of money (and hair) on weak RTK GNSS systems. I've written a post to show the beginner what they need for a super solid precision…
