Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What GNSS constellations does the South INNO8 support? ▾

The South INNO8 GNSS receiver supports all major satellite constellations including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS. With 1760 tracking channels, it can simultaneously track signals from multiple constellations, ensuring optimal positioning accuracy and reliability even in challenging environments with limited sky visibility.

✓ How does the integrated IMU enhance surveying accuracy? ▾

The advanced IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) integrated in the INNO8 provides continuous position and orientation data even when GNSS signals are temporarily blocked. This technology enables tilt compensation, allowing surveyors to measure points without perfectly leveling the pole, significantly increasing productivity and maintaining centimeter-level accuracy in dynamic conditions.

✓ What is AR-assisted stakeout and how does it improve field operations? ▾

The AR-assisted stakeout feature uses augmented reality technology to overlay digital design data onto the real-world view through the device interface. This allows surveyors to visualize stake points, design elements, and measurements in real-time, dramatically reducing setup time and potential errors while providing intuitive navigation to target locations in the field.

✓ What level of positioning accuracy can I expect from the INNO8? ▾

The South INNO8 delivers professional-grade accuracy with RTK positioning precision of 8mm + 1ppm horizontally and 15mm + 1ppm vertically. In static post-processing mode, it achieves even higher precision at 3mm + 0.1ppm horizontally and 3.5mm + 0.4ppm vertically, making it suitable for the most demanding surveying applications including boundary surveys, construction layout, and geodetic control networks.

✓ Is the INNO8 compatible with existing survey software and workflows? ▾

Yes, the INNO8 is designed for seamless integration with industry-standard survey software and data collection platforms. It supports multiple communication protocols including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular connectivity, and is compatible with popular field software packages. The receiver outputs data in standard formats, ensuring smooth data transfer and processing within existing surveying workflows and office software systems.
