Question regarding RTK and PPK in densely forested area without internet or known coordinates

Reach RS2 / RS2+ RTK / PPK configuration

Hi @bengwill,

I agree with @daygeckoart! You can use the other RS2 to collect GCPs. Since you don’t know the precise position of the base yet, you can do any of the following:

  1. Collect the ground control points with the other RS2, and post-process it with Stop&Go. For this, you need to record the raw data logs from your base and rover, along with the CSV file for your measurements.
  2. Set up the 2 Reach receivers as base and rover, and set up the base in Average Single. Take note of the averaged position of the base. Once the precise coordinates of the base are known with PPP, you can manually adjust the position of the GCPs based on the difference between the old and updated coordinates of the base. More info about this workflow can be found here.
