Toggle Urban Canyon to simulate how tall buildings in Dubai Marina or Downtown reduce satellite visibility and degrade RTK accuracy — a key challenge in urban GNSS surveys.

🎓 Understanding GNSS in Dubai

This simulator shows a realistic sky plot for Dubai (latitude 25.2°N). In a real GNSS RTK survey, your receiver connects to the UAE National CORS Network (Continuously Operating Reference Stations) for real-time corrections, achieving ±10mm horizontal and ±20mm vertical accuracy.

Click Toggle Urban Canyon to see why GNSS surveys near tall buildings in Dubai Marina, Downtown or DIFC are challenging — fewer satellites means higher PDOP and lower accuracy. In these situations, Sky TerraEye uses total stations for localised high-accuracy work, switching to GNSS for open areas.
