What’s New in Version 3.301
- Improved Network RTK support for VRS, iMAX, and FKP networks to improve position availability and convergence time
- Ability to output 50Hz raw measurements and PVT logs for both single and dual frequency GPS signals (supported on all OEMV products except SMART-V1/V1G)
- RTCM version 2.3 and 3.0 support for Moving Base Station Mode, permitting RTK positions to be solved where both rover and base station are in motion
- Both SBAS and CDGPS positioning modes use IonoGrid as default for L1 models (resulting in more accurate height)
- Removal of the height/altitude restriction for heights greater than 18,288 meters as permitted by COCOM
- GLONASS datum updated to match recent changes to PZ90.02 reference frame
- Improved tropospheric modeling
- Updated MAGVAR table with most recent magnetic declination data
- New RTKDOP log available with DOP generated from satellites used in RTK solution
- Enhancements to the 1PPS control command to permit a user adjustable pulse width
- Bluetooth tunnel escape mode added
- Added delta phase velocity option for applications requiring low latency velocity
