Accuracy Isn’t Optional; It’s Everything
The Problem with “Good Enough” GPS
For decades, professionals have been forced to settle for “close enough.” Standard GPS systems, whether in your drone, rover, or construction machine, can only guarantee accuracy within a few meters. That’s fine for navigation — but it’s a disaster for precision work.
A drone operator mapping a stockpile, an engineer calculating cut-and-fill volumes, or a farmer running auto-steer equipment all rely on positioning data that has to be dead-on — not “almost right.” Traditional GPS simply can’t deliver that level of accuracy on its own.
That’s where RTK corrections come in. Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning refines raw GPS signals down to centimeter-level accuracy, giving professionals the confidence that every measurement, every coordinate, and every dataset they collect is built on precision.

Why RTKUSA Exists
RTKUSA was built by users, not by legacy manufacturers or bloated enterprise networks. We’ve been in the field, flying the drones, collecting the data, and feeling the pain of unreliable or overpriced correction services.
Our goal is simple: make high-precision GPS corrections affordable, accessible, and reliable for every industry that depends on it.
With 3,500+ base stations across the United States, RTKUSA provides coverage where you work, from remote mining sites to agricultural fields to active construction zones. Whether you’re mapping a quarry in Texas or surveying infrastructure in Montana, you’ll have the same reliable centimeter-level accuracy you’d expect in any major city.
The RTK Difference Explained Simply
When your drone, rover, or GNSS receiver locks onto satellites, it’s working with signals that have traveled thousands of miles. Even tiny distortions from the atmosphere can create significant positional errors. RTK solves that by using base stations on the ground that already know their exact position.
These base stations compare what the satellites say with what’s true on the ground, then transmit correction data in real time; turning your GPS from “a few meters off” to “spot-on accurate.”
In other words: RTK takes the guesswork out of GPS.
A professional surveyor wearing a safety vest and hard hat operates a GNSS RTK receiver and tablet in an open agricultural field. The image highlights the accuracy and reliability of RTK positioning technology used for precision mapping, drone surveying, and geospatial data collection.
Precision That Pays Off
The benefits of centimeter-level accuracy aren’t theoretical; they’re measurable. When you use RTK corrections, you:
Eliminate costly rework from inaccurate measurements
Speed up processing by capturing data that aligns perfectly the first time
Improve consistency across multiple sites, projects, and equipment types
Build trust with clients who expect professional-grade deliverables
In today’s competitive world, accuracy doesn’t just separate good operators from great ones — it’s a direct reflection of professionalism.

Breaking Down the Barriers
Legacy RTK providers built systems that were expensive, complex, and often locked behind proprietary hardware. They assumed that only big-budget operations deserved reliable corrections.
We disagree.
At RTKUSA, we’ve made it simple:
$40/month for month-to-month access
$33/month with an annual plan
No hidden fees. No contracts. No nonsense.
You get a reliable connection, nationwide coverage, and industry-standard compatibility with leading drone, GNSS, and surveying platforms. Because accuracy should empower you — not lock you in.
Wide Industry Applications
RTK corrections aren’t just for surveyors. Professionals across the country are using RTKUSA for:
Drone mapping and photogrammetry
Construction layout and verification
Mining and aggregates volume measurement
Agricultural precision guidance
Engineering and GIS applications
If your work depends on accurate coordinates, RTKUSA works for you.
