- Satellite
- Internet (Global / European Union / North America)
- Press the Store button
- Wait for the precision values to converge
- Ready to start
Trimble Mobile Manager software
Version 4 and later:
- Tap Configuration to set GNSS correction source to Auto
- Tap Home
- Connect to your position source if not already connected by tapping Select
- Wait for your precisions to converge to your defined tolerances
Version 3 and before:
- Choose your Position Source
- Tap the Menu (☰) icon and choose GNSS configuration

Learn more about how CenterPoint RTX can boost your productivity.
With a fast convergence of under one minute in select regions, CenterPoint RTX delivers RTK-level performance to which surveyors are accustomed. CenterPoint RTX caters to all surveying fieldwork needs, from stakeouts to as-builts, with reliable centimeter-level accuracy.
CenterPoint RTX is not affected by radio or cellular signal interruptions (radio dead spots, unreliable cell coverage, or cellular connection) or unexpected disturbances (RTK-network outage or compromised base). This means CenterPoint RTX correction acts as your positioning insurance in the event of radio or real-time network disruption so you can maintain your accuracy in your local coordinate system indefinitely (or until your primary correction is restored) using xFillx mode.
As both a satellite and Internet-delivered service, CenterPoint RTX is always available no matter where you are. You are not tied to one location as with terrestrial correction sources, and your rover and CenterPoint RTX move with you. No need to worry about the RTK-network footprint, finding a good location for your base station, or the PPM error component when traveling away from the base and increasing your baseline length.
CenterPoint RTX corrects for all available constellations. If you're using a low-quality local base, or you're on a third-party real-time network without full constellation support, switching to CenterPoint RTX correction will increase satellite availability.
Rover-only setup with CenterPoint RTX correction enables the use of all receivers as rovers, maximizing the efficiency of crews in the field. Read our blog series Real-Time GNSS Corrections: Productivity, Profitability, and Practical Considerations to help you choose the best GNSS correction tool for the job.
