You can download official station coordinates and view position time series for RTK networks that operate in Canada and have entered into either an RTK compliance or a data-sharing agreement with CGS. They’re used for either real-time network or single-base RTK positioning solutions. RTK networks include publicly and commercially operated RTK networks in Canada with continuously tracking GNSS receivers. Download station coordinates, metadata and GNSS observation data from the national network (CACS), as well as the regional, provincial and municipal networks whose data are distributed by CGS. They’re equipped with a high-precision, dual frequency GNSS receiver, and some also include an atomic frequency standard. Submit Receiver INdependent Exchange (RINEX) format observation data from single or dual-frequency receivers operating in static or kinematic mode over the Internet, and recover enhanced positioning precisions in the North American Datum of 1983 of the Canadian Spatial Reference System (NAD83(CSRS)) or the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF).ĬACS consists of continuously tracking GNSS stations, referred to as active control points (ACPs). It uses precise satellite orbit, clock and bias corrections derived from a global network of receivers to determine accurate user positions anywhere on the globe, regardless of proximity to reference stations.

Learn more about each tool below to understand which one suits your needs. The Canadian Geodetic Survey (CGS) has publicly available tools and desktop applications to help surveyors, engineers, glaciologists and other professionals calculate accurate positions on the Canadian landmass.
