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.

A correctly set-up base station is essential for accurate GNSS surveys in RTK. Since your rover’s coordinates are only as accurate as the base’s placement, any shift in the base will directly affect the rover’s measurements. Learn the key steps for setting up a base.

The Sostremetries team set out to fix Corsica’s outdated mountain lists using high-precision GNSS technology. By combining Emlid Reach RS2+ and RS3 receivers with LiDAR and digital terrain models, they redefined what counts as a summit.

Emlid has partnered with ProStar Holdings Inc., a developer of the PointMan survey app, to provide an integrated solution for centimeter precise and cost-efficient mapping of underground utilities.

Archaeologists from the University of Copenhagen streamlined their workflow with the Emlid ecosystem, integrating multiple data layers with the Reach RS3 receivers and the Emlid Flow app.

Emlid adds high precision to WingtraGROUND—the all-in-one kit for precision aerial surveys with Wingtra drones. The kit combines Emlid’s high-precision GNSS, seamless connectivity to the Wingtra ecosystem, and guided workflows via the Wingtra tablet. Explore right now.

You’ve probably heard of the NMEA data format. We’ve explained what it means and how Reach receivers transmit data in NMEA format to GIS apps and various devices.

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.

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.

Despite the accessibility of drone photogrammetry, 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.
