Description

RTK vs PPK GPS - Which is the Best, Most Accurate Option for You?
Today's show is all about 2 GPS correction technologies - RTK and PPK (Post Processed Kinematic GPS). Specifically, which is the best, most versatile option for drone pilots and when they can choose one over the other.
Our caller for today, Trevor from Australia is unsure whether he should go with RTK or PPK GPS. 
To help out Trevor, we re-visit the basics of these GPS technologies. We then proceed to discuss the optimum flying environment for RTK and PPK, and the different factors that you must consider when choosing one over the other.
Other topics discussed on today's show include accuracy, the pros and cons of Aeropoints, and some expert tips for countering environmental challenges.

Each episode features an actual question submitted from someone just like you! We wish we could answer everyone’s question(s), but we’ll do our best to get through as many of them as we can.
