Can a low-cost GNSS antenna perform like a geodetic one? A research paper in GPS Solutions says: often yes — if you choose carefully. Imagine you’re in the field with a low-cost multi-band receiver (the kind many of us use every day). You’re doing everything “right”… but your results still vary more than expected. One […]

Forget for a moment about GPS position. A GPS or GNSS also calculates time. And it does it very accurately. As precise as 10 nanoseconds. This is 0.00000001 seconds. Imagine you have 2 devices in 2 different countries or 2 sensors in 2 different locations and you want to synchronize whichever action or measurement they

If you’re building an autonomous vehicle (whether it’s a ground Rover, a drone, or a marine robot), choosing the right platform is key to speed up the project. This guide will help you compare and decide between 3 popular platforms: Arduino, ArduPilot and ROS 2. Before we start: some factors to consider Choosing the right

If you need high-precision GNSS, you’ve probably come across the u-blox ZED-F9P and ZED-X20P modules. Both offer centimeter-level accuracy, but they offer different features for different users. Here’s a quick breakdown:

If you’re looking for a high-precision GNSS receiver, you’ve probably read the terms All-band, Quad-band, and Triple-band. Is there actually any difference? At ArduSimple we like to keep things simple, let’s use this short article to clear up this confusion. Triple-band vs. Quad-band vs. All-band RTK receivers: the real story We are sorry we need

Achieving centimeter-level GNSS accuracy? It’s all about choosing the right method—Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) or Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK). Our new video dives into the technical differences to help you decide which is best for your project. We’ll look at distance limits, error detection, setup time, and data post-processing requirements. Discover why RTK has a 35 km limit

Ever wondered why your GNSS receiver’s accuracy fluctuates? Proper antenna installation is key, and even small errors can greatly impact your results. Our latest YouTube tutorial is here to guide you through the optimal setup of your GNSS antenna, ensuring you achieve the best possible accuracy. From avoiding signal obstructions like buildings and trees to

We’ve explained the different types of heights in the tutorial Ellipsoidal, Orthometric, and Geoid heights, and what they mean for your work. When taking measurements, you might find that the positional information appears accurate, but the height may not be correct. This error could arise from forgetting to input the height of your pole. Alternatively,

In the context of GNSS and GPS, we often encounter terms such as heading, course, track,  yaw etc. This can be confusing at times because they are frequently (incorrectly) used interchangeably in conversations. Heading By definition though, heading determines the direction in which a vehicle, a boat or a plane is facing.  In GPS receivers

Are you navigating the complex world of RTK receivers and wondering which option is the best for your needs? Delve deep into the technical aspects of dual band GNSS/RTK receivers, focusing on a comprehensive comparison between the L1L2 and L1L5 models. Is L1/L5 really cheaper then L1/L2? Does L1/L5 outperform L1/L2? Should you switch to
