Theoretically, you could do a survey without any streaming corrections (UHF, cellular or otherwise). You could use the CDF position for real time navigation. CDF stands for Code Float and means the autonomous position of the rover is being improved by SBAS (Space-Based Augmentation Systems) like the FAA WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) to get real-time, standalone positions to submeter (generally). Once on a point of interest, collect it as normal, provided that the action profile being used is set to log raw data. Once your points have been collected, return to the base, connect by Bluetooth and download the base raw data to the LS/LS+. This does not require stopping and downloading, only connect, and use the "Download" button at the bottom of the Remote Base screen. Use the Post-Process options available in the points screen to process the raw data. As Wes mentioned, it is advisable to collect more than one point on the same point when in a challenging location (under canopy, near buildings, etc.). This will allow you to have redundancy to compare for verification purposes. Use the cluster average, if desired, to create a single point from those multiple points on the same point. This will result in improved statistical precision.
One of the only difficulties with this process is that you will need to return to the base and process the data before you can:
This process has been available for a while with DPOS and PPK, but required the user to stop the base and required an internet connection. With the procedure outlined above with RTPK, you do not need to stop the base, nor do you need an internet connection.
One of the only difficulties with this process is that you will need to return to the base and process the data before you can:
- make any precise evaluations of the relative position of points (inverse)
- make any determinations about the accuracy of collected positions of points (verification)
- stake points (which will require modified procedures)
