Any RTK rover, GNSS receiver or field controller with an NTRIP client works. Already have one? It takes a few
minutes. Building your own from a GNSS module? Our rover software does the rest.
An off-the-shelf rover (any brand)
Create an account — Get Started on the home page.
Add a rover user — Setup → Rover Users → + Add Rover User: a
username and password for this device (one per rover).
Set up its NTRIP client:
Host
ntrip.rtkonline.net
Port
2101
Mountpoint
NEAR — the nearest base, picked for you (or a base's own name from Mountpoints)
Username / password
the rover user from step 2
Send your position — turn on “send position (GGA) to the caster”, so
NEAR knows where you are. No GGA? The mobile app can send it instead.
Coins — other people's bases cost 1 coin an hour: request coins in your
Wallet. Your own shared bases are free with the tokens they earn.
Work — connect, and the rover reaches RTK Fixed within seconds to a minute.
Our rover software (do it yourself)
The same software as the base, in rover mode, set up from its own web page.
Hardware — a Linux board (amd64, arm64 or armhf) or an ESP32, with a UM980 / UM982,
LC29H (DA, BA, CA or EA), UM626N or ZED-F9P (experimental).
Install — sign in and open Device firmware for the package and the
instructions.
Set up the module — on the device's web page: Auto-detect, then
Initial Setup in rover mode.
Corrections — choose rtkonline.net, mountpoint NEAR,
and your rover username and password (step 2 above). Needs a Limited or Full license.
Work — the fix, satellites and your position in local grid coordinates show
live; save points when you need them.
All features of the rover software
Corrections over NTRIP or TCP from the rtkonline.net caster Limited/Full
NTRIP or TCP from any caster Full; serial, e.g. from a radio link Full
Fix type (Single, Float, RTK Fixed), satellites, signal levels per constellation and the sky view, live.
Local grid coordinates: MGA2020, ETRS89, NAD83, SIRGAS 2000, NZTM2000, QazTRF-23, Pulkovo 1995, and UTM elsewhere.
Saved points, listed on the Sites page.
NMEA TCP listener for field software Full; NTP time server from GNSS time Full; MQTT publishing.
Try it in the demo
The demo units run this software around the clock with a simulated GNSS module. Log in, look around, change
things — the setup is restored automatically.
