Sorry, posted this in iPadOS erroneously...
Hi,
for a project usecase I'm curious about the capabilities of the iPhones' built-in positioning system and the available APIs.
I've learned, that it has not been possible to use RTK-corrected positioning, as the iOS API just provides location data and does not offer an option to implement RTK signals. I guess this is still the case with iOS 18. My provider wants to sell me additional (and pricey) RTK GPS receivers, which enable a positioning accuracy of about 1 cm. However, my usecase would also be fine with an accuracy of roughly 1 meter.
Is this possible, maybe using Galileo instead of GPS (iPhone 12+ should be able to handle this)? Is there an app that can provide detailed info on accuracy and used positioning system?
EDIT: oops, wrong board. Is it possible to move this topic to iOS18? 😇
