University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka researchers have developed algorithms that improve the precision of location tracking in smartwatches. Led by Associate Professor Robert Odolinski, a visiting researcher with Google from Otago’s School of Surveying, the research team demonstrated that a smartwatch determined its location with centimeter-level precision over four hours with a stationary setup. The result was achieved... read more
Greenland is being twisted, compressed and stretched, according to researchers in the Department of Space Research and Space Technology of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Space). As a result, the entire island has shifted northwest over the past 20 years by about 2 centimeters per year. GNSS data shows plate tectonics and movements in the bedrock caused by the... read more
For users relying on centimeter-level accuracy — such as surveyors, engineers and autonomous systems — ionospheric disturbances can mean system downtime and significant losses. Traditional network real-time kinematic (NRTK) positioning methods assume smooth ionospheric conditions and thus fail during active solar periods. To meet these challenges, a research team from Wuhan University and Guangzhou Hi-Target Navigation Tech Co. Ltd. developed... read more
U-blox has launched the UBX-M10150-KB chip and the MAX-M10N module, the first M10-platform GNSS hardware designed with firmware upgradeability. Both products run the new SPG 5.30 firmware, introducing Low Energy Accurate Positioning (LEAP) — a mode that reduces power consumption by up to 50 percent while maintaining superior positioning accuracy. Designed for battery-powered devices, the new chip offers ultra-low power consumption of just 8 mW in continuous tracking.... read more
Emlid has introduced a new generation of all-band RTK receivers including the Reach RX2, Reach RS4 and Reach RS4 Pro. They are built for surveyors, GIS specialists and construction teams seeking reliable, high-accuracy positioning with consumer-level ease of use. This EU-based developer of high-precision GNSS receivers and software is on a mission to make professional-grade precision simple, fast and scalable. The... read more
