This decision matrix is derived from this document : Better RTK GPUS support for Ardupilot
L1, L2 and L5
Most RTK solutions support L1/L2. When choosing GPSs for base station and rover (drone), ensure both support the same frequency bands. If, for example, drone supports L1,L5 and base supports only L1; we are effectively handicapping the drone to just L1. RTK requires common frequency bands for performing the computation. If using L1,L2 on drone and L1,L2 on base; both the bands are tracked by the drone and RTK will be able to perform at dual frequency and better performance.
\uD83D\uDCD8 Background
Our end-goal is to be able to locate our drone while the device maintains safe, consistent fixes.
Existing support
Currently our drone is supported by NEO M8 GPS manufactured by Team Blacksheep.
