If you’re working in construction, mining, or infrastructure and aiming for centimeter-level accuracy, adding a GNSS base station to your RTK or PPK drone setup is essential. Emlid application engineer Kirill Pavlyuchuk shares expert tips on how to choose the right base station to power your high-precision mapping workflows.

Modern GNSS surveying equipment goes a long way in helping you achieve high-accuracy data collection, but the human factor still plays a role. This article will walk you through eight GNSS surveying mistakes that can easily trip you up.

In aerial mapping, your workflow mainly depends on the technology your drone employs—PPK (Post-Processing Kinematic) or RTK (Real-Time Kinematic). Understanding how each approach works will help you achieve accurate and reliable mapping results.

Learn two methods for obtaining RTK corrections for surveying workflows: using an NTRIP service or your own base station. This information will help you choose the best method for your application.
