How does the Surveyor+ GPS System work?
The system uses a Real Time Network such as a Trimble VRS, Topcon TopNET GNSS Network, Leica GNSS Network or other brand to receive GPS corrections for sub-centimeter accuracies. The corrections are broadcast over the Internet for anyone with an account on these networks to use. The system uses an internal GSM modem to connect to the Internet to receive these corrections. Other methods of receiving the corrections without using the internal modem are available such as a Mi-Fi card or a cell phone with a hot-spot.
