RTK vs PPK: Differences between Real-Time and Post-Processed Kinematic for precise GNSS location

we’ll compare Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) methods to achieve precise GNSS locations. Whether you’re in the field or analyzing data at the office, we’ll show you which method best suits your project. 0:15 Equipment for RTK and PPK: To achieve centimeter-level precision with GNSS, you'll always need two RTK devices: base station and rover 0:44 When to Use RTK RTK provides real-time accuracy, ideal for tasks like planting rows or driving tractors. 0:57 When to Use PPK PPK is perfect for recording measurements in the field to process later, great for tasks like remote mapping. 1:17 How RTK Works RTK relies on real-time corrections sent from the base to the rover, ensuring accuracy on-site. 1:39 How PPK Works PPK doesn’t need a real-time connection—data is collected and processed afterward on a PC. 2:23 Which method should I use to avoid errors? 2:37 What is the distance limitations and accuracy of results in PPK and RTK? 3:09 But which method costs less: RTK or PPK?
