positioning and is field upgradeable to all OEM7 family software options. Theseoptions include ALIGN for precise heading and relative positioning, GLIDE for
decimetre-level pass-to-pass accuracy, SPAN GNSS+INS technology for continuous
3D position, velocity and attitude, and GNSS Resilience and Integrity Technology(GRIT) for advanced positioning protection. RTK delivers centimetre-level real-time
positioning, or it can go base-free for centimetre and decimetre PPP solutions
using TerraStar corrections.
