How much does RTK GPS cost?
The price of RTK GNSS receivers is falling, as low as US$7,000 (retail price) for a full RTK GNSS receiver in North America and likely less than that in other parts of the globe.
Do you need a base station for RTK?
Historically, RTK users have been required to setup and maintain their own RTK base station. If you work in an area that offers one, all you need is internet access in the field and a RTK-capable GPS L1/L2 receiver.

What does GPS RTK stand for?
Real-Time Kinematic
RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technique that uses carrier-based ranging and provides ranges (and therefore positions) that are orders of magnitude more precise than those available through code-based positioning.
How much does a RTK base station cost?
$1,000/yr per receiver) to access your local RTK Network, or if no RTK bases are available at all, it makes sense to consider operating your own. Furthermore, if you operate your own RTK base station, you can make the data available to government or NGO partners in your area, either for a fee or for free.
What is an RTK subscription?
The RTK Base Station Network is a subscription based, real-time GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Reference Network that provides high quality GNSS correction data to subscribers. The RTK corrections collected by each reference station are streamed and synced across the secure, online accessible network.

How accurate is RTK float?
The accuracy for RTK Float starts around 40 cm, but increases to 20 cm at best.
How does an RTK base station work?
RTK follows the same general concept, but uses the satellite signal’s carrier wave as its signal, ignoring the information contained within. RTK uses a fixed base station and a rover to reduce the rover’s position error. The base station transmits correction data to the rover.
What is John Deere RTK?
John Deere Modular Telematics Gateway (MTG) John Deere Mobile RTK allows producers to farm fields miles apart or in rolling terrain without the need to switch towers. This ensures boundaries and guidance lines will not shift if the incorrect tower is selected.
