@masteredgeacademy: RTK vs Total Station: Which One Works in Dense Forest? RTK is incredibly powerful but what happens when you take it into dense vegetation and the GNSS signal becomes unreliable? Dense forest can obstruct satellite visibility and introduce multipath, making high-precision GNSS more challenging. In this situation, a total station can provide an alternative because it measures angles and distance to a prism through a clear line of sight without relying on satellite signals. But here’s the interesting part… What if you didn’t want to switch to a total station? 👀 There’s another technology that may change the way we approach this problem. Stay tuned for Part 2. #Surveying #RTK #TotalStation #Surveyor #MasterEdgeAcademy
If you are using a total station as an alternative, you will still need at least two survey beacons or nearby control points on site with known coordinates. Therefore, you may still not be able to use the total station to set out the coordinates if your RTK never gets a fix at any location.
