Why Georgia professionals choose RTKdata
Accuracy
1-2 cm horizontal, 2-3 cm vertical in open sky. Multi-constellation RTCM 3.x corrections via NTRIP maintain precision across Georgia terrain — from Blue Ridge mountain slopes to flat Coastal Plain and kaolin mining regions near Sandersville.
Speed
RTK FIX in seconds across the state. Single NTRIP mount point with no manual base switching. Survey crews, forestry teams, and port operators stay productive through rapid initialization.
Availability
99.99% NTRIP endpoint uptime (rolling 12 months). Monitored 24/7 for consistent real-time streams, including during severe weather and hurricane season along the Georgia coast.
Coverage
RTK stations across Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Athens, Albany, and Valdosta. Neighboring states Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina share the same network.
Industries Using RTK Corrections in Georgia
Georgia ranks first nationally in commercial timber production, poultry output, and kaolin mining — industries where centimeter-accurate GNSS positioning drives measurable efficiency gains.
Commercial Timber and Forestry Management
Georgia leads the nation in commercial timber production with 22 million acres of private timberland generating $42 billion in annual revenue (Georgia Forestry Association). RTK-equipped harvesters and forwarders optimize cut-to-length operations, while GNSS-guided boundary surveys prevent encroachment on adjacent parcels.
Poultry and Row Crop Precision Agriculture
Georgia is the top U.S. poultry producer, with broilers valued at $6.1 billion — 36% of the state's total farm gate value (UGA CAES). RTK auto-steer supports row crop operations for peanuts, blueberries, and Vidalia onions across south Georgia.
Port of Savannah Container Terminal Operations
The Port of Savannah handled nearly 5.7 million TEUs in 2025, ranking as the third-busiest U.S. container port (Georgia Ports Authority). RTK positioning supports crane alignment, container yard stacking surveys, berth dredging, and inland rail terminal construction.
Kaolin Mining and Mineral Extraction
Georgia produces more than 8 million metric tons of kaolin annually — over $1 billion in value — making it the world's leading kaolin producer (Georgia Encyclopedia). RTK guides dragline excavation, pit boundary surveys, and stockpile volumetric calculations across the kaolin belt near Sandersville.
Atlanta Metro Construction and Infrastructure
Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing U.S. metros, with the 22-mile Atlanta BeltLine project actively constructing trail segments, parks, and transit infrastructure (Atlanta BeltLine Inc.). RTK supports machine control on graders and excavators for highway widening on I-285 and GA 400 across Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties.
Military Installation and Defense Surveying
Georgia hosts major military installations including Fort Moore, Fort Stewart, and Robins Air Force Base, encompassing over 400,000 acres. RTK positioning supports range construction, airfield grading, perimeter fencing surveys, and environmental compliance mapping meeting DoD geospatial standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What RTK service provides the broadest coverage across Georgia?
How does the eGPS network in Georgia compare to RTKdata?
eGPS Solutions operates a private GNSS RTN covering Georgia and Florida from its base in Norcross. RTKdata provides access to a broader global network of 20,000+ stations across 140+ countries with instant self-service activation, 99.99% uptime SLA, and multi-constellation support starting at $40 per month.
Does RTK accuracy degrade in Georgia mountain terrain?
In the Blue Ridge region of north Georgia, tree canopy and terrain can reduce satellite visibility. Multi-constellation corrections (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) and dense base station spacing help maintain 1-2 cm horizontal accuracy in open-sky conditions even at higher elevations.
Which receivers connect to RTKdata in Georgia?
Any RTCM v3 compatible device works without modification. This includes equipment from Trimble, Leica, Topcon, Emlid, u-blox, and Septentrio.
What coordinate systems are used for Georgia surveys?
Corrections reference NAD83(2011). Georgia has two State Plane zones: Georgia East (FIPS 1001) and Georgia West (FIPS 1002). UTM Zones 16N and 17N cover the state, with Zone 17N covering the majority of Georgia.
Can RTKdata support kaolin mining operations in middle Georgia?
Yes. RTK corrections are available throughout the kaolin belt between Macon and Augusta. Applications include pit surveys, haul road grading, stockpile volumetrics, and reclamation monitoring. Dense station spacing in Washington, Wilkinson, and Twiggs counties ensures reliable FIX availability.
Does RTKdata offer a trial for testing on Georgia project sites?
Yes. The 30-day free trial includes full access to all corrections. No credit card is needed and the trial ends automatically.
