The RTK Facet from SparkFun is our most advanced GNSS receiver to date. It's your one stop shop for high precision geolocation and surveying needs. For basic users, it’s incredibly easy to get up and running and for advanced users, the RTK Facet is a flexible and powerful tool. With just a few minutes of setup, the RTK Facet is one of the fastest ways to take centimeter grade measurements.

"It's so easy, we'll have Cassie do it!"
"Wait what?" 😆
I'm setting up a RTK breakout at the moment on a Linux box, hopefully to get it running as a rover.

Rob and Cassy thanks for your video. Can a facet be used to provide correction data for another one over WiFi or Bluetooth?

G'Day from Oz. I currently run a GPS/GNSS unit with 0183 NMEA output for my old Oziexplorer mapping program on a laptop in my 4wd. The Australian Government has been testing the SBAS L1 system (called SouthPAN) apparently if you have the appropriate antenna & receiver, corrections can be made via satellite, no subscription service required? There is no internet or mobile coverage in the remote area of Australia where I use this mapping system for setting out the annual event so that would be the perfect answer for me. While there is a fixed trig point nearby unfortunately the area to be mapped is over 20kms, we've even had a surveyor struggle with his RTK using a base over that point & a rover, even though that equipment is many thousands of $$. Would it be possible to use this unit for mobile use on my vehicle to set out the roads & areas without the need for a base? I do this for my club & is very much a budget self funded exercise, so costs is what has stopped me from using any surveying type equipment. I feel if I had the right app, I could also use my mobile phone & connect that to the fixed unit to more accurately find a point if needed? Any advice would be great!! Cheers!

I just ordered a Facet to survey a property we're building our house on in North Texas. I heard Cassie say you would soon have support for iOS devices. What's the timeline on that? In the meantime, I plan to use an 8" table w/SW Maps connected to the internet via my iphone. Any issue with that?

[@hshipes]

Worked great! However, the unit won't charge so it will be going back. Very disappointing..

[@InputCity]

[@blakehouchin2304]

To make a Facet a base press the Setup button to put the device in Base mode. Check out this section of this tutorial (under the Temporary Base heading). learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sparkfun-rtk-facet-hookup-guide#hardware-assembly
