In daily surveying, we usually set up base stations on known points. What if there are no known points or the known points are far apart in some large-scale projects? How can we ensure the accuracy when shift or re-start the base station?

Different users have their own work habits and preferred software. In order to facilitate our vast user groups, our RTK products are compatible with common field surveying software and GIS software on the market. Today we will take Mobile Topographer as an example to see how we can make our Y1 GNSS receiver work with it.

To obtain higher efficiency, nowadays more and more large-scale projects combine total station and GNSS receivers to complete complex survey tasks. But in this case, the most troublesome thing is the subsequent processing of point data in different coordinate systems. If data problems are found after processing, users may even need to do some re-measurement.

Although both belong to the geospatial industry, GIS and surveying have different tendencies in the selection of equipment for point surveying work. GISers are more concerned about the compatibility with GIS software and the portability of equipment, while surveyors pay more attention to the accuracy and measurement-related performance.

With the development of the surveying industry, the mainstream surveying instruments on the market mainly include two types, one is the representative of traditional optical surveying - total station, and the other is the representative of emerging satellite-based surveying - GNSS RTK receiver.

As one of our hot products, the Y1 GNSS receiver has a very wide user base, and they also encountered various technical questions in the process of using Y1. We have summarized the questions frequently asked by our users and provided some solutions, hoping to solve some of your confusion.
