Devon · 41 km south-east of the base · Outside practical range
RTK coverage in Tavistock.
Tavistock is 41 km from our base at Bude, which is beyond the distance a single-base RTK fix stays reliable. Bideford is further still, so a network correction service is the honest recommendation here.
The numbers for Tavistock.
Computed from coordinates. The only thing that will change them is where you actually stand relative to the base.
Bude, by 7.9 km
Our base is the shorter baseline for Tavistock. Our own base. Unicore UM980 triple-band receiver, absolute position established by PPP, corrections free over NTRIP.
Outside practical range
Too far for a single-base RTK solution to be reliable. A nearer station or a network service is the right answer here.
Commissioning autumn 2026
Corrections are delivered over NTRIP, which needs a data connection at your receiver. Register below and we email the caster address and mountpoint the day it goes live, with notes for whatever receiver you run. If you have no mobile signal in the field, say so: that is what decides whether we add a UHF radio link.
Your receiver decides
AgOpenGPS, CNH and Topcon connect directly. John Deere StarFire needs an RTK activation and usually an external modem. Trimble's free tier will not accept a third-party caster at all. Tell us what you run and we will tell you before you spend anything.
Want us nearer Tavistock?
A second base is cheap relative to everything else. Enough registrations from one area is what would justify it.
