Practical hints
Practical hints for Kinematic, Stop & Go and Kinematic on the fly measurements
• It is very important to use a period
of time where the satellite
constellation is strong; a window
with more than 6 satellites is ideal.
• Distances between reference and
rover should be kept short. Ideally
this distance does not exceed 3 to
5 km
• It is recommended to keep a
"track" (consisting of the
observations taken during static
initialization as well as during
moving and occupying
subsequently measured Stop & Go
points) short. It is suggested to
end a track after e.g. a maximum
of 20 points and then reinitialize
again. You can force the system to
do so by just blocking the GPS
antenna by hand for some
seconds until the message
"Complete loss of lock" appears.
• Include independent checks in your
measurements. Either measure a
point twice based on different
initializations, or include known
points into your survey.
