I’m sure it’s possible to get cm accuracy for a rover. How long it takes to get it setup is the question.
Does the ground rover you’re referring to have a GPS receiver?

Sorry, by “gps rover” i mean gps receiver that is receiving corrections through radio from a base station.
I want to set up a vehicle that will be able to use this high accuracy gps to move to locations within cm accuracy
I have owned two large farm tractors that had Trimble autosteer systems on them and they had the ability to give near cm accuracy.
I’ve tested the Reach and found that with a good GNSS antenna and a CORS RTK correction data, it can give continuous cm accuracy.
Finding a low cost, high accuracy autopilot for a ground rover would be the challenge.
I’ll be helping a team of people from a university that will be testing a five hundred pound tracked ground rover on my farm this summer. It has a custom designed autopilot and a low cost, GNSS RTK receiver.
I will know more about how reasonable it is, trying to get cm accuracy with a small rover is, in a few months.
