The GenX F9P RTK GPS is a high-precision global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver designed for applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs and UGVs), precision agriculture, surveying and mapping. It utilizes the u-blox F9P chipset and supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and SBAS satellite systems for optimal signal reception and positioning accuracy. One of the key features of the GenXUAV F9P RTK GPS is its real-time kinematic (RTK) capability, which enables centimeter-level positioning accuracy achieved through the use of RTK correction data, allowing for accurate and reliable navigation in challenging environments. The GenXUAV F9P RTK GPS seamlessly integrates with popular autopilot systems, such as Ardupilot, provides multiple communication interfaces, including UART, I2C, and USB, ensuring compatibility and flexibility in connecting with different platforms. This advanced real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver has its wide range of applications from surveillance, mapping and other high precision UAV/UGV applications. Its a drop in enhancement for normal GPS available for flight controllers. Using 2 or more such modules in RTK mode can be used for GPS Yaw for precision heading and making system less reliable on magnetometers which prone to produce error due to magnetic interference.
