XBASE supports Caster functionality for forwarding GNSS correction data over the network. By configuring the Caster and connecting a rover to the XBASE Wi-Fi network, correction data from the base station can be transmitted to the rover through the network. This article walks you through the complete setup process.

Do you need to remotely manage a GNSS receiver or broadcast RTK correction data from a field location that lacks a public IP address? Ngrok offers a secure and convenient NAT traversal solution for GNSS receivers. With simple configuration, you can securely map the receiver's local web interface and data ports to the public internet, enabling remote configuration, status monitoring, and data transmission from anywhere.

During a SLAM survey, the scanner continuously estimates its position and orientation while building the point cloud. As the survey progresses, small positioning errors may accumulate along the scanning path, resulting in drift. In the final point cloud, this may appear as double walls, misaligned structures, or distorted corridors.

During RTK surveying, the solution status is one of the first things surveyors check before measuring a point. A FIXED solution generally indicates that the receiver has successfully resolved the integer ambiguities required for centimeter-level positioning.

During surveying operations, users may need to mark multiple points along a straight line, such as road boundaries, construction lines, or other linear features. Measuring each point individually can be time-consuming, especially when the points need to be evenly distributed.

In RTK fieldwork, the primary focus is typically on the coordinate accuracy and coverage completeness of measured points. However, beyond "which points were surveyed," "how those points were reached" is equally valuable information — it helps you review your workflow, verify area coverage, and even provides supporting evidence for subsequent quality checks.
