To perform measurements or flights as accurately as possible, you need more than GPS alone. The RTK network provides real-time corrections that enable centimeter-level precision. Whether you’re flying a drone for mapping, operating a tractor in agriculture, or running construction machinery, a stable connection to the network is essential. In this article, we walk you through, step by step, how to establish that connection.
Open the NTRIP menu in your application
This may also appear as NTRIP settings, RTK settings, or Network settings. Then enter your details:
After entering the information, check if you are connected to the network before proceeding.
Use the server address or IP that matches your location:
| Region | Server Address | IP Address | Recommended for |
| North America | rtk.geodnet.com | 13.56.117.10 | US and North America |
| Europe | eu.geodnet.com | 3.73.41.96 | Europe |
| Australia | aus.geodnet.com | 54.206.56.130 | Australia and surrounding regions |
Tip: Does your device only allow numbers? Then use the IP address instead of the server name.
GPS correction unlocks new levels of precision, for workflows where every centimeter counts.
Go to the Data Stream or Mount Point menu and select one of the four valid options. Make sure to enter them exactly in uppercase:
The system will automatically choose the appropriate reference frame for your region. Examples:
Do you need a fixed global reference? Select AUTO_WGS84 or AUTO_ITRF2020.
By default, the system uses ellipsoidal heights. Do you want to work with orthometric heights? Then apply a local geoid model or vertical correction within your software. This provides a much more precise height calculation.
Once everything is properly configured, your device will connect to the RTK network and receive real-time corrections for accurate surveying, dronemapping, and machine control.
