Base and rover configuration
Practical Base and rover configuration training covering equipment components, safe setup, configuration choices, field checks, care, and shutdown procedures.
Training category
RTK and GNSS training
Hands-on RTK and GNSS training in equipment setup, coordinate systems, observations, processing and field troubleshooting.
RTK and GNSS training helps surveyors, technicians, students and field teams understand both the equipment and the decisions behind a reliable positioning workflow. Topics can include base-and-rover setup, correction links, coordinate systems, site calibration, field procedures, observation checks, data download, processing, error identification, equipment care and workflow documentation. The programme is matched to the equipment available, the learner's experience and the intended type of work. Practical field time is included when the venue, equipment, weather and safety conditions allow. Maplas explains common sources of error and encourages independent checks rather than blind acceptance of a displayed coordinate. Training can be arranged from Malindi, in Watamu or Kilifi, and elsewhere in Kenya by agreement. Duration, participant numbers, equipment provision, venue and any assessment are confirmed in the quotation before booking.
