GEOCOM WEBINAR | Importance of the reference epoch in GNSS

Via Zoom Meetings & YouTube Live

 

Trimble RTX is significantly impacting GNSS users when evaluating work methodologies for coordinate determination in different fields. The use of RTX leads to an evident reduction in logistical costs for GNSS work because it does not depend on a base station to obtain highly precise geodetic positions. However, the use of Trimble RTX involves transforming the position determined in a current epoch to an established reference framework.

For this, GEOCOM has worked hand-in-hand with Trimble on the incorporation of velocity models into the so-called TGL (Trimble Geodetic Library), which is a geodetic library that stores different transformations for the correct representation of coordinates.

Learn how it is possible to determine positions in SIRGAS-Chile 2021 using RTX, or how to work with local coordinate systems.
