Real Time Kinetics

Great! I’m planning to do the same thing next year in order to precisely map some hiking trails. What sort of board did you use for the uBlox F9P? What I was looking at is this spark-fun rtk kit https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18589 plus another stand-alone surveyor and radio to use as a base-station when there is not cellular coverage.

Have you considered having another uBlox F9P acting as a base station and sending corrections over radio? for example on the top of the gorge in your case. Although this still won’t cover all cases, it helps you cover a lot more.

Was that power bank enough, was autonomy a problem? What about the cost of the setup?

Thank you for sharing this!
