The annual Locate conference and exhibition is an important event for Australia’s spatial industry. Locate22 was held in Canberra and marked a shift back towards pre-COVID ‘normality’!

With over 700 delegates attending over 3 days, It was great to be able to get together with so many representatives of the spatial industry.

Choosing the right terrestrial RTK kit for your survey projects can be a confusing and time-consuming task.

Depending on your requirements and budget, some kits may be more suitable for you than others. Making the right choice can save you hours and reduce downtime, helping avoid situations where your GNSS receiver doesn’t provide the data you need.

Map Gear will collaborate with local surveyor Noel Burton from Detail Survey to deliver a day of education, awareness and technology exploration. Join us to learn how you can save your company thousands in new hardware upgrades.
Topics covered will include: Working with RTK in the field and office, Drones, RTK & Corrections Propagation.

A recent study conducted by Chris Nichols from Brian Blakeman Surveys evaluated the performance of his existing Trimble GNSS equipment against Emlid Reach RS2 GNSS receivers.

Equipment spec sheets don’t always tell the whole story. Therefore, the aim of this experiment was to undertake common ‘real world’ survey tasks and compare a high-end current model ‘brand-name’ receiver with an affordable alternative, evaluating the differences in performance.

This is a great free surveying app! Benchmrk provides a visual guide to current and former Benchmarks through a simple visual interface. If additional information is available, documents including a Benchmark Report and a Survey Report can be obtained.

The Extended Range Antenna Kit by Triangl Group is specifically developed for use with Emlid Reach GNSS RTK receivers. If you are currently using an Emlid Reach RS2 or Emlid Reach RS+ GNSS RTK receiver and want to improve your connection via LoRA, this might be just the equipment you need.

Before earthworks can be carried out on a site, the exact positions of key points of the design must be staked out. This helps the equipment operators visualise the job to be done.

In this post we cover Setout using Emlid Reach RS2 GNSS receivers. This process requires several steps to ensure the design is correctly translated onto the physical landscape.
