Skip to main contentTraceNav is the last RTK corrections service you’ll ever need. We operate a nationwide (CONUS) network that transforms precise State Space Representation (SSR) models into Virtual Base Stations (VBS) for every connected rover. The result: centimeter-level positioning over a single NTRIP connection with built-in assisted GNSS data and automatic datum alignment.
It’s designed for everyone—from farmers, drone pilots, and surveyors to developers integrating high-precision GNSS into robotics, autonomy, or mapping systems.
What problem does TraceNav solve?
Reliable RTK requires dense Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) networks, yet traditional offerings come with:
- Expensive, centralized infrastructure — proprietary networks with high subscription costs
- Limited scalability — regional CORS networks can’t easily expand across large geographies
- Coverage gaps — service typically concentrates in affluent or intensively farmed regions
- Vendor lock-in & incompatible standards — divergent data formats, slow RTCM evolution, and closed PPP-RTK tooling
How TraceNav works
- SSR-derived VBS – TraceNav delivers PPP-RTK accuracy by synthesizing virtual bases near every rover using orbit, clock, bias, ionospheric, and tropospheric models.
- Integrated ephemeris stream – When a device connects, TraceAssist Ephemeris provides immediate broadcast data; no second mountpoint or connection.
- TraceRouter orchestration – Sessions authenticate once, align datums automatically, and can blend with CORS data or your own bases.
- Open-first tooling – We extend open projects such as commaai/laika to keep positioning transparent and auditable rather than a black box.
Who is it for?
- Agriculture & autonomy – Tractor guidance, swarm fleets, autonomous ground rigs
- Aerial operations – DJI enterprise drones, large-area mapping, precision spraying
- Survey & construction – Engineering surveys, machine control, monitoring
- Developers – Robotics, logistics, and research teams that need precise GNSS feeds
