How Accurate are e-Survey GNSS RTK systems?

Modern GNSS RTK systems can provide a relative accuracy of 0.8cm +/- 1ppm horizontal and 1.5cm +/- 1ppm in the vertical. This relative accuracy can be translated into absolute accuracy using Monuments. All the GNSS RTK systems Advanced Mapping Solutions provides are capable of this level of accuracy.

How much does an RTK GPS system cost?

Modern GNSS RTK systems are comparable in price to robotic total stations, while providing a much higher level of productivity. As with robotic total stations, prices will vary depending on the manufacturer. With Advanced Mapping Solutions and e-Survey, you will receive the best value for your money.
