Today we tell a story behind the photo that won Emlid Photo Contest 2018: The photo was captured at the archaeological site called Mothia (or Mozia). The site is approximately 45-hectare large and is located a few kilometers west of Sicily. Mothia was settled in the 8th century BC and was surveyed with Reach RS […]

A set of Reach RS was recently used in a challenging remote sensing project in Iceland by researchers from the University of Latvia.

We have already written about Landmapp from the Netherlands helping to unlock land value in Ghana. Now they are helping the Indonesian government to find an efficient way to map the whole country. During the pilot stage of the project, Meridia (former Landmapp) will survey 4500 hectares in 5 weeks. This stage involves delivering land rights documentation to […]

Colombian KiteMap uses Emlid Reach RS to set GCPs accurately and in a cost-effective way.

Researchers at the Duke University Marine Lab assessed and conserved local wetland and oyster habitats along the coast of North Carolina with the immense help of the Emlid Reach RS.

Brazilian ArnsTronic designs and manufactures UAVs and provides a complete crop monitoring plan to customers. To get the precise maps they equip a fleet with the centimeter-accurate Reach RTK and use Reach RS as a base station. The method saves a lot of time and allows to survey large areas where the conventional approach is unfeasible.

Using standalone GPS geotagging on drones may lead to significant deviations between processed maps and reality. Placing ground control points with well-known coordinates on site is crucial to achieve high accuracy of the final maps. Reach RS fits perfect for this kind of application and recently was used by DroneDeploy Team in a new study comparing how […]

Our user Andreas Ortner utilizes Reach and Reach RS with an auto-steering system on John Deere tractors on his farm in Austria. He equipped the tractor fleet with Reach RTK Kit and an auto-steering system made from standard components. Such a set up doesn’t require complicated integration and may be used on any machinery.

Our user Joseph paired Reach RS with one of the many Android smartphone/tablet GPS guidance applications that can deliver GPS precision to farming. The centimeter-accurate positioning reduces overlaps and missed zones and this helps to save time and increase yield potential.
