What is RTK GPS?

Real-time Kinematics or RTK GPS is a survey-grade precision GPS that gives dredge excavator operators the exact location of the bucket or hydraulic attachment underwater. A base station is used as a fixed point, which works in tandem with RTK GPS to provide the highest precision possible. The base station is like a True North that the unit can always calibrate to. This provides accuracy to less than an inch instead of feet, which is critical when a dredging project needs high precision.
