CHCNAV i85 is an IMU-RTK GNSS receiver with an integrated laser rangefinder, powered by the CHCNAV multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS chipset and iStar2.0 technology. It delivers reliable centimeter-level accuracy, including in built-up or obstructed environments.
The advanced IMU improves heading accuracy, and the combination of GNSS positioning and laser measurement enables fast and safe capture of inaccessible points.
