Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3-RTK-Pro Precision Line Locator w/RTK GPS

The vLoc3-RTK-Pro from Vivax-Metrotech is the industries first all-in-one utility locator with built-in RTK GNSS system providing centimeter level survey-grade accuracy. Perfect for producing utility mapping.

The RTK-GNSS allows for precision line marking and survey-grade accuracy mapping to occur simultaneously. Technicians simply can perform a normal utility line marking procedure with data collection logs by pressing a single button and aligning an on screen level. GPS data is stored to the cloud automatically via its built-in 4G LTE cellular connection. The technician's input is done when the locate is completed. The data is in the cloud in near real-time and ready for mapping use. In addition, the data is also stored onboard the locator available for export for review and use with compatible mapping software. Users also have the ability to connect to NTRIP RTK caster that can provide RTCM 3 correction data.

New for 2021, now technicians can locate and GNSS mark utility pipes & cables, meters, manholes, valves, hydrants and any utility attribute on any job site. This versatility provides for complete utility mapping in real-time from the instrument. No need to bluetooth or access an external GPS receiver or use a limited phone application or any other limited solution. A properly set-up vLoc3-RTK with service is all any technician would ever need to produce a survey grade utility map in just a few minutes after arriving to the job site.

The vLoc3-RTK-Pro includes all the same functionality and features as the popular vLoc3-Pro receiver.
