DirtMate RTK 101: Centimeter-level positioning for grade checks, stakeout, and in-cab guidance

DirtMate RTK is a subscription upgrade to DirtMate hardware that delivers centimeter-level GPS positioning for grade checking, point capture, stakeout, and live in-cab cut/fill display, using a base-and-rover correction setup or an existing NTRIP network. It closes the gap between weekly drone surveys and daily field decisions, letting foremen and operators verify grade independently without mobilizing a survey crew. Validated to within 2/100ths of a foot against a Trimble rover on an active civil site, it’s built for field supervision tasks between survey milestones, not as a replacement for licensed survey work.
