What Is Included in Your Free RTK Trial
The trial is the full product, not a limited preview. Your RTK correction service trial includes everything paying customers get, for the full 30 days.
Centimeter Accuracy From Day One
From your first connection you work at 1-2 cm horizontal and 2-3 cm vertical accuracy, up to 100x more precise than standard GPS. Corrections cover GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou on triple frequency, so your receiver locks a stable fix in seconds.
The Full Network, Not a Test Tier
RTKdata is a paid professional network, not one of the stripped-down free RTK services. The 30-day trial lets you test the same network paying customers use, with geodetic-grade stations and built-in redundancy, on your real jobs before you subscribe.
Coverage Wherever You Work
20,000+ reference stations across 140+ countries make this the largest RTK network worldwide, and your free trial is valid across all of it. If no station sits near your work area, RTKdata can set up a local RTK base station for customers at no cost, subject to terms.
Works With the Receiver You Already Own
Corrections stream over NTRIP using RTCM 3.2, the open standard supported by thousands of GNSS receivers: survey rovers from Trimble, Leica, and Topcon, RTK drones, autosteer terminals, and robotics on Emlid, u-blox, or Septentrio. Any NTRIP client works.

“If you are like me and learning this somewhat confusing process involving RTK and
drones, support becomes a big issue. I submitted some questions to RTKdata and
was almost immediately answered, not by a bot, but by the big dog himself. I am
now confident in the product and the support. What could be better?”
Robert Fly
“Excellent and dependable RTK NTRIP service and customer service for a great
price. RTKData has been instrumental in capturing accurate drone maps in difficult
locations where known points are either hard to come by or difficult to access.”
Nathan Wiens — Wiens Consulting
“RTKdata’s team is ridiculously AWESOME! I sent in a question at 3am to get assistance with my drone mission later that morning. I literally got an answer in 10 minutes that helped resolve my problem and answer my questions. Lifelong customer!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free trial, and does it auto-renew?
Yes. The trial runs 30 days with full access to all features and the complete station network. It ends automatically. There is no auto-renewal, no credit card and no cancellation required, and each user or device gets one trial.
How are the plans structured and what's included?
During the trial you get the same service as paying customers. If you decide to continue afterwards, you can choose Monthly ($40/month), Yearly ($400/year), 5-Year ($2000/5 years), or a flexible Enterprise plan.
Can I cancel, pause, or change my plan?
The trial ends automatically, so there is nothing to cancel. If you subscribe later, you can cancel anytime via the customer portal and switch from monthly to yearly whenever you like.
Do I need my own base station to use the trial?
No. The corrections come from RTKdata’s network of reference stations. Your receiver connects to the caster over the internet via NTRIP, so there is no base station to buy, set up, or maintain.
Does the free trial work in my country?
The trial is valid worldwide. The network covers 140+ countries, and you can check your exact work area on the live coverage map before signing up.
Is the trial accuracy the same as the paid service?
Yes. The trial streams the same corrections as paid plans: 1-2 cm horizontal and 2-3 cm vertical accuracy in open-sky conditions, with under 1 second latency. There is no reduced test tier.
