The Backpack RTK section covers the backpack-mounted RTK kit for Hovermap, which enables walking scans with high-accuracy GNSS positioning for georeferenced point clouds. This includes the components in the kit, the steps to assemble the hardware before a scan, and how to monitor the RTK status during a scan.
