- Where it works
- State-run network for Florida.
- Stations
- About 90+ stations listed in FDOT's 2025 product list (FDOT, NCNThe NOAA CORS Network. NOAA's nationwide group of permanent base stations, with data free to download.Full definition and partner sites)
- Needs cell signal?
- Yes: NTRIPThe standard way RTK corrections are sent over the internet. Think of it as internet radio for correction data.Full definition needs internet at the RoverThe receiver that moves around the job, like a survey pole or a drone. It uses the base's corrections to find its exact spot.Full definition (cell data or a phone hotspot). General rule, not an operator statement.
- Network
- FDOT posts a station status page and a list of real-time products, IPs, ports and Mount pointOne specific correction stream on a caster, like one channel on a radio. Each one comes from a certain station or network setup.Full definition

- Mount types
- Single BaselineThe distance between the base station and your rover. Shorter is better for accuracy.Full definition and network solutions (MAX and others)
- Correction formats
- CMR, CMRxTrimble's own compact correction format. Some networks offer it for Trimble gear and machine control.Full definition, RTCM 2.x, RTCM 3.x, RTCM 3.x MSM4
- Satellites (ConstellationOne family of navigation satellites, like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou. More constellations means more satellites to use.Full definition)
- GPSThe US satellite navigation system. People often use "GPS" to mean all satellite positioning.Full definition, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou
- Datum / EpochOne moment of GPS measurement. A receiver logging at 1 Hz records one epoch every second.Full definition / GeoidA lumpy, imaginary "sea level" surface around the whole Earth. Elevations are measured from it.Full definition

- Must send GGAA short message your rover sends with its rough location. VRS and nearest-station streams need it to know where you are.Full definition position?
