      My base station fell over or didn't log data, what do I do?

      You can try using another Continually Operating Reference Station as your base station file.

      A base station is required to log GNSS data during LiDAR data collection. If your base station failed to record data you have two options:

      1) Re-fly, or

      2) Use an alternative base station.

      All around the world there are continually operating GNSS receivers logging data. Some of these reference stations offer their RINEX data as a public service. Below are a list of known networks where you may find base station data:

      1. NOAA CORS
      2. unavco.org
      3. MAGNET

      NOTE:

      1. Download and use RINEX data,
      2. The data needs to be logged at a one second (1 Hz) interval, and
      3. The reference station needs to be within 30KM of your flight location
