A reader wrote me about occupation times for RTK work, and it’s spurred a conversation I think will be interesting to you and perhaps a little controversial. It seems that most GPS/GNSS users have developed their own opinion based on their own experience.
The discussion has several points, but the one I’d like to address in this column is the occupation time for RTK points. I’m not referring to the topo type of point where you’re collecting somewhere between 1 to 5 seconds (and averaging) of data, but rather the RTK shot where you want the highest confidence and accuracy in the RTK position.
