The RTK Surveyor Kit has everything you need to get centimeter level global positioning measurements using GNSS RTK. The SparkFun RTK Surveying Kit has everything you need to get centimeter level global positioning measurements using GNSS RTK. We've created a handy carrying case to protect the most expensive bits, allowing you to quickly attach the L1/L2 antenna and RTK Surveyor housing to the pole or tripod of your choice. The kit includes all the antenna bits, cables and chargers you need to jump right into the field. The RTK Surveyor is a wireless enabled multi-band GNSS receiver based on the ESP32 from Espressif and the ZED-F9P from u-blox. Flip the switch and you'll have 300mm approximate accuracy out of the box and 18mm accuracy with RTCM corrections. This kit provides the L1/L2 antenna, adapters, interface cables, and chargers needed for general GNSS use. We generally recommend using your cellular phone as the radio backhaul for RTCM but you can also use your own, higher power radios as long as they support 57600bps. We also recommend logging all data to your phone. This is as simple as checking a box within SW Maps. But if you prefer to do long surveys, or need to deal with RAWX measurements where a phone will not be present, a microSD card should be purchased (any size up to 32GB). The RTK Surveying Kit works with common GIS software including SW Maps, SurvPC, FieldGenius, and any GIS software that supports NMEA. Please keep in mind that you will need to provide your own mono-pod or tripod as well as a cell-phone type holder for securing the RTK Surveyor to your mono-pod or tripod. Your mileage may vary. Note: The L1/L2 antenna has a 5/8" thread which will fit most surveying platforms. The kit includes a 5/8" to 1/4" adapter as well which will fit most camera mono-pods and tripods. You may need additional adapters for your specific equipment.

The RTK Surveyor can be charged from any USB port or adapter. The charge circuit is rated for 1000mA so USB 2.0 ports will charge at 500mA and USB 3.0+ ports will charge at 1A. We've created a handy carrying case to protect the most expensive bits, allowing you to quickly attach the L1/L2 antenna and RTK Surveyor housing to the pole or tripod of your choice. The kit includes all the antenna bits, cables and chargers you need to jump right into the field. This Kit Features: Concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. Receives both L1C/A and L2C bands. Current: 68mA - 130mA (varies with constellations and tracking state) Time to First Fix: 25s (cold), 2s (hot) Max Navigation Rate: PVT (basic location over UBX binary protocol) - 25Hz, RTK - 20Hz. Raw - 25Hz. Horizontal Position Accuracy: 2.5m without RTK. 0.010m with RTK. This Kit Includes: 1x -RTK Surveyor. 1x -RTK Kit Carrying Case. 1x -GNSS L1/L2 Multi-Band Antenna - TOP106. 1x -Antenna Interface Cable - SMA to TNC (300mm) 1x -1/4" to 5/8" Antenna Thread Adapter. 1x -USB Wall Charger - 5V, 2A. 1x -USB A to C Cable - 0.8m. 1x -Data Cable. -1x Radio Cable. The RTK Surveyor Kit has everything you need to get centimeter level global positioning measurements using GNSS RTK. Important: The SparkFun RTK Surveyor is not designed for permanent outdoor mounting. Please mount the L1/L2 antenna (which we've had outside constantly for over three years in Colorado UV) outside with a SMA cable running to the RTK Surveyor that is located inside or protected from the elements.
