Road based mobile mapping
Robust and accurate mobile mapping over long distances
Road-based mobile mapping faces unique challenges compared to other types of surveying:
-
Surveys generally take place over long baselines and surveyors need a way to protect the accuracy of their trajectory data throughout the entirety of the data collection.
-
A data collection project may take place across a range of different environments, including those with poor or no GNSS visibility. Therefore road-based mobile mapping professionals need solutions that provide accurate, uninterrupted trajectory data across those environments.

The OXTS solution for road-based mobile mapping
Using an OXTS localisation solution for road-based mobile mapping means you get precise position and orientation data for the full length of your survey, whatever environment your vehicle travels through. From open skies to urban surveys, our solutions can help.
-
Smooth, high-quality trajectory data from ITAR-free hardware
Our GNSS/INS devices use an advanced navigation engine, careful calibration and sophisticated sensor fusion to deliver highly reliable, centimetre-level positioning data in a variety of environments. -
Mobile mapping-specific capabilities
Unlock specific features in your GNSS/INS such as advanced gx/ix processing, external data logging, compatibility with our specialist georeferencing software, and our unique new LiDAR Boost capabilities for enhanced accuracy in GNSS-denied environments. -
Software to make your project easier
As well as our free configuration and post-processing software NAVsuite, we also offer mapping-specific tools including our georeferencing and boresight calibration software, OXTS Georeferencer. -
Accessories
Simple to use mounting struts and dual antenna roof mounts ensure that you can concentrate on collecting the best data possible.

OXTS solution
GNSS/INS features for road-based mobile mapping
Road-based surveying requires precision at every point of the survey, even in areas where GNSS signal is limited like urban environments. The following optional features are all included in the LiDAR mapping feature bundle:
- Advanced gx/ix tight-coupling – Speeds up RTK reacquisition after transient but complete GNSS outage meaning more accurate navigation data for longer (see example below).
- PTP and gPTP time synchronisation – Master and client functionality makes it easier to integrate your GNSS/INS into an existing system.
- External file logging – log data to an external storage device for longer missions.
- OXTS Georeferencer – use OXTS Georeferencer to quickly and easily georeference your point cloud data, and to calibrate your LiDAR and GNSS/INS coordinate frames to remove point cloud blurring and double vision.
gx/ix™ tight-coupling processing
An OXTS GNSS/INS integrates single-satellite aiding data into its navigation solution, reducing the time taken to reacquire RTK lock in real time. Using our free post-processing software, NAVSolve, you can reprocess your raw data and still benefit from gx/ix tight-coupling processing.
Tools for your project
01
OXTS Georeferencer
Quickly and easily combine localisation data from your GNSS/INS with raw LiDAR data to create georeferenced point clouds, and precisely calibrate your LiDAR and GNSS/INS for crystal clear point cloud data.
02
LiDAR Boost
An advanced solution that uses data from any 32-laser, 360° LiDAR to compensate for missing or erroneous GNSS updates, either in post process or in real time. LiDAR Boost gives you better quality localisation data in GNSS-denied environments for georeferencing your survey data.
03
NAVsuite
- Configure your OXTS GNSS/INS.
- Monitor the navigation data from your GNSS/INS in real time.
