Nexteq Navigation, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, announces the release of its new RTK-F (Real Time Kinematic Float) positioning augmentation system for its T6 GNSS handheld. RTK-F is well suited for demanding applications by providing the highest accuracy available for the T6, Nexteq Navigation said. With RTK-F, the T6 reaches a consistent 20-centimeter accuracy level, further improving upon the unit’s sub-meter level accuracy currently available with Nexteq’s Freedom or i-PPP point positioning technologies. The addition of RTK-F further enhances the flexibility of the T6 platform.
Operation Waypoint, a Minnesota-based, non-profit program administered by American Legion Post 621, has broadened its program from a state and regional focus to national in scope with its new website, gpsfortroops.org. Run by volunteers, the program is committed to increasing the safety of military men and women deploying to the Middle East with the guidance of highly accurate, handheld GPS units and mapping cards for Iraq and Afghanistan. Since its inception, Operation Waypoint has relied heavily on its partnership with GPS device manufacturer Lowrance to provide GPS products and charts to soldiers preparing to serve, as well as generous donations from service and social organizations and numerous individuals to fund the effort.
