Software Integration​

FastRTK works with any NTRIP-compatible software. Here are guides for common platforms:

GIS Software​

  • ESRI Field Maps / ArcGIS Field Maps - Configure NTRIP in location settings
  • QField - Set up positioning source in project settings
  • QGIS - Use with external GNSS receiver

Survey Software​

  • Trimble Access - Configure RTK data link
  • Leica Captivate - Set up internet connection
  • SurvCE / SurvPC - Configure NTRIP client

Machine Control​

  • Configure NTRIP caster address and credentials
  • Set appropriate timeout values for your application
  • Monitor correction age for quality control
