Meet the Facet FP: The First User-Upgradable GNSS Receiver
The Facet FP from SparkPNT is the world’s first user-upgradable GNSS receiver, built for professionals who need high precision positioning with room to grow.
In this video we cover:
• What makes the Facet FP a user-upgradable GNSS receiver
• Key hardware features and rugged design improvements
• How to connect via Bluetooth and start collecting position data
• Achieving millimeter-level accuracy using RTK corrections in the field
Meet the TX2: Getting Millimeter-Level Location Accuracy Is Easier Than You Think
Doing high-precision GNSS work in the field usually means expensive gear, complicated setups, or both. In this video, Nathan shows how millimeter-level location accuracy can be achieved reliably, portably, and on a budget.
This video covers:
• Achieving RTK and survey-grade accuracy in the field
• Bluetooth GNSS workflows with iOS and Android
• Live accuracy comparisons before and after corrections
• Battery life and field-ready design considerations
User Guides and Walkthroughs

Galileo HAS Explained
What happens when you need accurate GNSS positioning with no cellular connection or internet access? In this video, we break down how Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) works and how it can deliver ~20 cm accuracy anywhere in the world, completely free.
What You’ll Learn:
• What Galileo HAS is and how it works
• Real-world accuracy of off-the-shelf GNSS vs HAS vs RTK
• Convergence time and performance tradeoffs
• When HAS is “good enough” vs when you need RTK
• How to evaluate accuracy using known reference points
Base + Rover Setup using HAS (High Accuracy Service)
Maintaining high-precision GNSS accuracy in dense foliage or near buildings can be challenging due to multipath interference and signal degradation. We demonstrate a practical base and rover setup using HAS (High Accuracy Service) corrections to maintain centimeter-level accuracy in difficult environments.
Using a base and rover approach allows you to maintain reliable, high-precision positioning even when direct satellite visibility is compromised.
If you're working in the field without reliable connectivity, this method provides a practical way to maintain accuracy where it normally breaks down.
Miles of RTK Accuracy Using LoRa
How far can you push RTK corrections using LoRa? In this video, we test a long-range base and rover setup using the SparkPNT Facet with a built-in 915MHz, 1W LoRa radio, achieving reliable RTK accuracy over miles of line-of-sight distance.
We demonstrate a real-world setup transmitting corrections from a base station positioned on a known survey monument to a rover nearly 9 miles away, while maintaining centimeter-level accuracy.
• LoRa enables long-range correction transmission without internet
• RTK fixes can be maintained even with intermittent packet delivery
• Line-of-sight plays a critical role in performance
• Built-in radios simplify base + rover deployments in the field
