In aerial mapping, your workflow mainly depends on the technology your drone employs—PPK (Post-Processing Kinematic) or RTK (Real-Time Kinematic). Each system has its own strengths and therefore is designed for specific scenarios. Understanding how each approach works will help you achieve accurate and reliable mapping results.

Mobile or robotic mapping and surveying solutions are evolving to enable rapid data collection over large areas. Read how Reach integrates seamlessly with different types of machinery, how it enables mobile mapping and robotic surveying, and how it can elevate your operations.

Drone photogrammetry is used in various industries, from land surveying and construction to archaeology, real estate, insurance, and forensics. Despite its accessibility, the technology remains a complex field with many nuances. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the entire RTK drone mapping workflow from scratch.

If you work in GIS, chances are you’re already using ArcGIS Field Maps to collect, edit, and analyze spatial data. In this article, we’ll explain why Reach RX is the perfect choice for GIS professionals and how it integrates effortlessly with ArcGIS Field Maps, helping you achieve more accurate results in your projects.
