NovAtel GLIDE® is a GNSS receiver firmware technology designed to enhance relative positioning performance, particularly in applications where smooth, consistent positioning is critical. It is ideal for agricultural guidance and machine control systems, offering pass-to-pass accuracy and minimizing positioning jumps. GLIDE works with both single and dual-frequency GNSS solutions and supports various positioning modes including Single Point, DGPS, and SBAS.

Features

• Single & Dual-Frequency Support: Compatible with L1 code positioning and dual-frequency carrier phase solutions.
• Auto-Detection Mode: Automatically switches between dynamic and static modes based on movement.
• Multi-GNSS Compatibility: Operates with GPS only or GPS + GLONASS configurations.
• Universal Positioning Modes: Functions in Single Point, DGPS, and SBAS modes.
• Single-Frequency GLIDE: Combines L1 code and phase data for enhanced stability in autonomous systems.
• Dual-Frequency GLIDE: Improves absolute accuracy and robustness against ionospheric disturbances.

Benefits

• Smooth Positioning: Reduces positioning jumps and ensures less than 1 cm variation between epochs.
• High Accuracy: Achieves pass-to-pass accuracies better than 50 cm even in areas without SBAS or wide-area corrections.
• Enhanced Stability: Offers superior performance for L1-only users, previously available only with dual-frequency systems.
• Robust Performance: Maintains accuracy in high ionospheric activity environments.
• Ideal for Agriculture: Optimized for machine guidance and precision farming applications.
