<p>To get millimeter accuracy we need to provide the RTK unit with correction values. Corrections, often called RTCM, help the RTK unit refine its position calculations. RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services) can be obtained from a variety of sources but they fall into three buckets: Commercial, Public, and Civilian Reference Stations.</p>
27442745
<p>See <a href="../correction_sources/">Corrections Sources</a> for a breakdown of the options and the pros and cons of each. For this quickstart, we'll be showing two examples: using PointPerfect for $8 a month (a little less accurate but nation-wide coverage) and PointOne Nav for $50 a month (maximum accuracy, gaps in the coverage area).</p>
