So I took a mapping class and though I’m able to go out and map a piece of land, they did a really poor job of showing how RTK is actually implemented.
Watching dozens of videos hasn’t cleared up any thing.
1. With a base station do I still need a known surveyed point? I assume then the station gets mounted directly on this point.
2. When do I use gcps? Are there gcps already in place that eliminate the need to use a base station?
3. Do I use the base station to enter the location of the gcps?
4. Once gcps are in place do I still use the base station in flight?
I need a good walkthrough on the whole process. Ideally I would shadow someone in the field. Sadly drones are not much in use here in the Los Angeles area.
Thanks and hope all are well.
