What is the best egnos/Wass or glonas

[PSQ]

Sorry PSQ my old mucker, but on this very rare, isolated occasion you're very wrong.

EGNOS is most certainly not a proper "constellation" - in the sense of an orbiting group of non-geostationary Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) birds. In the way that GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Bei Dou and QZSS actually are proper GNSS constellations!

'Humble pie' time:

My mistake, Rangepoint is the US and GLONASS constellations (etc) plus Trimbles own 'RTX branded' correction signal, and doesn't involve EGNOS.

Apologies to @Tractor Boy












(But you were still wrong about the GLONASS not being a part of RTX )

Thankyou. I still don't think you have to be tracking Glonass to use the RTX Rangepoint correction.... But I may be wrong.

Time to change to Trimble

I've used rangepoint, centrepoint and now run RTK for drilling, rangepoint works and I didn't notice anymore misses than centrepoint, it drifts more over time so sometimes a remark would be needed after a breakdown or lengthy fill up, I never liked leaving unfinished fields over night so never had that problem. Centrepoint seemed the same accuracy to me other than it had repeatability and no drift so you can use same marks the following year. Rangepoint is £250 and centrepoint was £1100-1200 when I had it. We now host a RTK station so get free signal so have taken the plunge and got the radio equipment and run RTK, it's great!

RTX provides corrections for GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, Bei Dou and as of last month they also started providing corrections for Galileo too.

I'm not sure why you would have to track GLONASS for RTX to work, its not a prerequisite as far as I'm aware.

Thanks. I don't understand the full detail you gave in your two earlier posts but thought I was correct on the basics.

Sorry was hoping it was least confusing, not more.

You've got it right as far as I know. There's a lot of confusing jargon and BS out there. A lot of it is there to bamboozle and confuse people. Sometimes its hard to seperate the marketing/hype from the science/engineering/facts.
