About

Fugro Beams

Read full description

This app identifies which Fugro correction beams are available at the 'phone's current location. Ensure the 'phone has a good view of the sky. This tool is intended to help Fugro GNSS correction signal users identify which beams to select in their receivers. The user is responsible for verifying that the receiver is locked-on to the selected beam and that a strong, valid signal is being received. Warning: At most locations two or more correction beams are available. Favour the ones that are most overhead, but for redundancy, never configure all your receivers to use only one beam.
