GUIDE-K35E GNSS Ground Truth Field Test: Vehicle Route Performance

This Ground Truth field test evaluates the GUIDE-K35E GNSS module in a vehicle-based route dataset. The test uses a full-band survey-grade antenna and documents measured positioning performance against the defined ground-truth reference.

Overall Performance

Measured full-route performance

Full-run results retain normal, degraded, and dead-reckoning intervals so that measured accuracy can be read alongside solution quality.

TEST NOTES

Reading this test

Open-road performance is exactly what you'd want, and not much more to say.

On highway and open segments the receiver stayed RTK Fixed almost continuously and tracked the ground truth at centimetre level — steady and uneventful, which is the point.

The dense-city result beat our expectations.

Residential streets and the CBD canyon held fixed nearly as well as open road — a glimpse of what a dual-band engine and a survey-grade antenna can do together. We'll take this further at the product level, starting with SCOUT PRO, to see how it holds up in practice.

The tunnel is a dead-reckoning story, and we'll be candid about it.

With no sky the solution coasts on MEMS inertial dead-reckoning — error drifts gradually rather than jumping, and snaps back to a fixed solution quickly on exit. It coasted well this run, but the IMU is uncalibrated (no temperature or bias compensation) and parts vary unit to unit, so it won't be this clean every time. Treat these values as coasting behaviour, not GNSS accuracy.
