R12 Updates?
Posted by Frank Willis on February 22, 2020 at 2:04 pmI am curious about anyone’s experience now that R12s have been out for a while.
Things like….
Accuracy on VRS?
Usability on VRS while in canopy?
Glitches or coordinates at random?
Pro/con
etc

I’m primarily running mine as base/rover and it’s pure awesomeness. I was staking points with impunity under a line of 24″ eastern red cedars that had branches all the way to the ground. My base was in wide open sky and even under heavy cedar canopy the rover was getting 25-30 sv’s. I didn’t have a single point all day where I had to wait for the solution to settle before locating or staking points.
In Tennessee TDOT’s VRS is only GPS/GLONASS so I don’t think you’d see the same results as base rover due to longer baselines and fewer sv’s. Not sure if any VRS’s are running 4 constellations yet, if so, maybe some users there will chime in.
trimble advertises a 30% improvement, I would agree
we have been able to lock on everything
Does it mean that I am old that my first thought was that this was about ACAD R12?
