A head-up display in the mask shows the appropriate routes. A team led by Philipp Berglez from the Institute of Geodesy at Graz University of Technology, Styria, Austria, has developed a navigation system for divers that uses GNSS-supported buoys. The buoys emit electromagnetic signals to enable animal-friendly, […]

Septentrio, part of Hexagon, has added the onocoy GNSS correction service to its Agnostic Corrections Partner Program. The program is designed to give users the ability to select from multiple high-accuracy correction services, supporting a range of application needs and geographic requirements. The onocoy service operates as a decentralized, crowdfunded RTK network, providing reliable and cost-effective high-accuracy positioning. This approach is intended to benefit sectors such as agriculture, mining, drone operations, robotics, autonomous vehicles, geodesy […]

GloTEC, a real-time global Total Electron Content (TEC) map from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), was released in February 2025. GloTEC assimilates both ground- and space-based observations to provide real-time global ionospheric corrections without relying on error-prone linear combinations. (Credit: NOAA SWPC) One of the most persistent sources of GNSS error — ionospheric delay — has been challenging to correct in real time, especially for mass-market devices. While dual-frequency receivers and commercial correction services […]

July 15, 2025 Shipwreck hunter Chris Thuss is currently exploring multiple underwater sites on Lake Michigan. Here is how it all began. Spending afternoons fishing for smallmouth bass on Lake Michigan and off of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, is a routine part of Chris’ week. So, it’s not uncommon for him to reel in a couple smallies or stumble upon a few known shipwrecks in the process. But on the afternoon of May 13, 2025, Chris noticed […]
