Features CamGNSS

CamGNSS is an ultra-low-cost solution for capturing photos with centimeter-level positional accuracy, right on your mobile phone.As the name indicates, CamGNSS integrates the camera of your mobile device with the multiband GNSS receiver, set up in a rover and base configuration.
The app is currently compatible with u-blox ZED-F9P or its application boards.
In the absence of a GNSS receiver, the app uses the mobiles built-in GPS.
You may not achieve centimeter-level positional accuracy with GPS; however, all other features of this app function exactly the same way in both GNSS and GPS modes.Since youre using your own mobile device, you get to choose the camera resolution and camera settings that best suit your requirements.
In other words, you are not constrained to use the low-resolution built-in camera of your GNSS rover.Key Features:1.
