When working with GNSS receivers in real-world surveying, coordinate systems are often the first source of confusion—especially when switching between latitude/longitude and projected systems. To make GNSS coordinates practical for engineering calculations, we often use a map projection to convert the curved surface of the Earth into a flat, grid-based system.

When operating in built-in radio mode, some users complete all configuration steps but still find the rover cannot obtain a Fixed solution. This post explains the most common causes of this issue and provides a step-by-step checklist to troubleshoot and restore RTK Fix performance.

In some surveying tasks, users may need to set up a network base station for flexible data transmission to multiple rovers. For Z1 Series receivers without a built-in 4G module, one might wonder — is it still possible to operate as a network base?

In our previous blogs, we've introduced how to configure X1-series as a drone base via its built-in caster and wifi connection. In this blog, we will introduce how to configure the Y1 GNSS receiver as a drone base.

In addition to downloading static data through the web interface or USB cable, you can also use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) as an alternative method. While the web download is convenient and commonly used, accessing data via FTP can be helpful in specific situations — for example, when you need to batch manage files, access them directly from your computer's file explorer, or handle larger data sets more flexibly.

In applications such as drone mapping and autonomous inspections, achieving centimeter-level positioning is critical. Accurate RTK positioning ensures reliable mapping results while also preventing accidents such as drones colliding with poles, towers, or power lines—helping protect both equipment and safety.
