RTKLIB: Open Source GNSS Positioning Softwares

An open source software package for precise positioning using GNSS, supporting various satellite systems for real-time and post-processing applications.

What is RTKLIB?

RTKLIB is an versatile software package for precise positioning using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS. It supports standard point positioning, precise point positioning (PPP), real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning and precise orbit determination.

Some key features of RTKLIB include:

• Supports a wide range of GNSS receivers from low-cost single frequency to geodetic dual-frequency receivers
• Can process raw measurement data in a variety of formats
• Implements standard and precise point positioning, PPP, instantaneous RTK and post-processed RTK
• Graphical user interface for configuration and data analysis
• Command line interface for batch processing
• Flexible input and output data formats
• Open source software under BSD 2-clause license

RTKLIB is suitable for applications such as surveying, mapping, precision agriculture, UAVs, and autonomous vehicles where centimeter-level real-time or post-processed positioning is required. With an appropriate GNSS receiver it can achieve 1-2 cm horizontal and 2-5 cm vertical precision.
