Problems using RTK for Mobile Mapping

RTK is great for surveying, why not mobile mapping?

• No recourse in outage (but to backup and pray).
• Position drops from centimeters to meters.
• Using radio modems limits range.
  FCC is reducing this 50% by end of 2012!
• Can use VRS/cell phone - outages.
• Heading degrades severely with GPS outage.
• Forward only processing degrades IMU accuracy.
• INS is less functional due to time limitation
