I can't imagine relying on private SBAS when DIY RTK is so cheap and easy now. Sparkfun will set you up with your own base station hardware for under $1000, I wonder what a year of inmarsat corrections costs.
- michaelt 4y agoHistorically (perhaps prices have come down a lot in the last decade with the introduction of the L5 signal?) getting RTK corrections from a third party meant you only needed one $20,000 receiver, instead of two.
- myself248 4y agoYeah, um, I have a base+rover pair, with the base set up in my kitchen window and the rover on my quadcopter, for around $600 total... no internet required, no corrections source, all the math done inside the F9P itself by default, or offboard with rtklib if I'm feeling masochistic... It's gotten incredibly affordable.
