RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology is widely used for high-precision GNSS positioning — often reaching centimeter-level accuracy. But sometimes, even when using professional equipment, you may notice inconsistencies in your measurements. 

If you're using high-precision RTK devices like the AP10, AP30 Laser, or AP50 Vision in your daily work, chances are you're relying heavily on CORS or NTRIP networks. 

When people see a surveyor's pole in the field, they often ask:  “Is that GPS?” Or sometimes, “Is it BeiDou?” Well — both answers are partially right. But if we want to be accurate, there's a better name for it. Let's break it down.

Today we’re diving into an important GNSS technique: static measurement. This method is commonly used for establishing control points in surveying, ensuring precise coordinates for RTK, total station work, or geodetic networks.

Importing point coordinates into your RTK controller is a quick and straightforward process when you follow the right steps. 

Whether you're using a brand-new GNSS receiver or switching devices in an ongoing project, calculating transformation parameters is key to ensuring your points are correctly aligned with your control network. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the step-by-step process of localization (also called coordinate transformation) and share 3 important tips to help you avoid common calibration errors.

Have you ever turned on your RTK and seen the word “Single” staring back at you? Don’t worry — this doesn’t always mean your device is broken. In fact, most of the time, it simply means one thing:
The work mode isn’t set correctly.

If you're about to begin work on a new construction or survey site, there's one essential step you should never skip — creating a new project in your field software.

If you're working in areas without reliable internet coverage — like offshore, deserts, or remote construction sites — using radio mode for GNSS communication is a practical and efficient solution.

If you work in remote areas like oceans, deserts, or rural job sites where there's no mobile network or internet, achieving high-precision positioning can be a big challenge. Luckily, HAS (High Accuracy Service) solves this problem — and setting it up is easier than you think.

In this blog post, we'll explain what HAS is, how it works, and how to set it up on your GNSS controller using the APEKSURV Field software.

Before starting any GNSS RTK survey, it’s essential to know what your current RTK status means. Different statuses reflect different levels of positioning accuracy and stability. If you’re unsure when to begin your survey or what each status really indicates, this guide will walk you through the four common RTK statuses and how they affect your measurements.

If you're just getting started with RTK surveying using an APEKXS device, one of the first things you’ll need to do is connect your RTK receiver to your controller. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the Bluetooth connection setup — step by step — so you can begin your fieldwork with confidence.
