Thanks,

I do, you can see how I placed my ground control in particular difficult site for GNSS here:

Using 4 x RS2's for precise results in challenging environment

Sometimes more RS2’s are simply better! Like when you have trees and metal building all around, and you still need precise GCP’s without a total station. For a stockpile volume jobsite I installed a perimeter of large screws around the stockpiles, so I can lay out GCP’s quickly every time I visit the site, which is regularly. The jobsite is very challenging from a GNSS perspective to say the least. On one side it has 25 meter high trees, that in the summer-time partially covers the side of th…

Hi all,

Can you explain more.
Size etc
Do you have XYZ data
One set or two sets?
Can you post some data similar to yours
