Hey all,
I’m looking for a way to log position with cm level accuracy. I understand that RTK GPS is what I need, but I’m not sure if I need two units, and how to connect them, or which to get.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Hi holoped,
The idea of a RTK is to have two units to with one will be the “base” to provide corrections.
HERE is a nice explanation of the idea behind RTK.
There are many options but it depends on how much you want to pay and how off-the-shelf the system will be.
For a low cost you can get two “Reach M+” which will comes a little less expensive but you will have to supply power and it’s less of a “field” system since you have many components to handle.
The Reach RS+ & RS2 are good rugged field solutions.
As for the connections and/or information, everything is well detailed on their documentations.
Hope that helps,
