Highlights

Please find below the main highlights for this Qinertia release:

  • Added support for the new Ekinox Micro INS
  • Advanced Geodesy Engine: New geodesy engine supporting transformations and projections with a built-in extensive database of Coordinate Reference Systems (datum, geoid, projection).
  • “Ionoshield” PPK mode: improves the accuracy and reliability of PPK in hard conditions (ionospheric activity and baseline length).
  • Direct access to HxGN SmartNet base stations: reference stations of Smartnet CORS networks (5300 stations) available directly from Qinertia (requires a third-party subscription).
  • Major built-in CORS providers updates: Qinertia comes with almost 8000 free base station providers worldwide. Each base station and provider has been reviewed for availability, coordinates and datum.
  • Extended third party INS and IMU support: 12 new IMUs supported by Qinertia (handling of both the data format and the IMU error model).
  • Tightly Coupled PPP: new PPP algorithm with Tight Coupling allowing 10cm accuracy even without a base station available.
  • Pedestrian single antenna mode: Low dynamic single antenna alignment in Qinertia for pedestrian applications.
  • PPK with Real Time base station corrections: Allows to perform a PPK by using the differential correction RTCM stream used during the acquisition.
  • Advanced GNSS display & settings: Multiple new graphs and advanced options around GNSS.
