But What is a Base Station

• Any GNSS receiver that records to file constellation variances that can be used to post process rover data.

Example of NZ’s COR network

Why would you use a mapping unit?

• Where you need a position better than autonomous GPS

• No local base station is available

• Where the baseline is greater than 300km

• Where RTK precision is not needed

• Where realtime positioning is not a requirement

Example• Creating control for photo

rectification• Mapping services in

remote Islands• Vegetation mapping on

remote islands• Faster Access to PP data

– Eg Staight away

• You don’t have access to free data
