What is an RTK Surveyor?

Amazing accuracy, low price

Using the powerful u-blox ZED-F9P, you can achieve down to 14 mm accuracy with GPS-RTK location at a much lower price than traditional surveyors.

Compatible with GIS applications

Using the built-in Bluetooth connection via an ESP32 WROOM enables the user to use the RTK Surveyor with their choice of GIS application on a phone or tablet.

Addition hardware supports

SparkFun RTK Surveyors are equipped with an microSD slot for data logging, USB-C for fast charging, external radio support, a Qwiic Connector and more.
