WestLat Connect

Corrections, simplified. Whatever you run.

WestLat Connect pairs with the GNSS receivers you already own, mixed brands and all, over Bluetooth or WiFi. Set base or rover in a couple of taps, feed corrections from HPRTK, your CORS network, or a UHF base, and read live status. One app, not a utility per brand.

What it is

A field app that connects the receiver, sources the corrections, and dials in the radio, without a different utility for every brand.

Most crews run a mixed fleet, and every manufacturer ships its own setup tool. WestLat Connect replaces the pile: pair a receiver over Bluetooth or hop onto its WiFi network, set it as base or rover, point it at corrections, set antenna height, and watch a live status screen built for a tailgate, not a cubicle. It runs on the phone or tablet already in your truck.

This is the software pillar of WestLat, and it carries the same idea as the rest of the shop: work with the equipment you have, no rip-and-replace.

Corrections, simplified

Three ways to feed the rover. One workflow.

However your corrections arrive, the setup lives in the same app, on the same screen.

Bundle

HPRTK service

Bundle HPRTK network corrections with the app. One subscription, sign in, and the rover is fixed. No caster settings to babysit.

Network

CORS or NTRIP caster

Already on a CORS network or another caster? Enter the credentials once and Connect handles the stream from there.

Radio

Your own UHF base

No coverage on site? Set a local base, broadcast over UHF, and match the rover's radio right from the app.

Base to rover

Set the base. Match the rover. Survey.

Corrections leave the base over UHF and land at the rover. The rule is simple: the two radios have to agree.

Base SET BASE
Rover SET ROVER
UHF 461.025 MHz Protocol SATEL 3AS Air baud 9600 bps Power 1 W Range 410–470 MHz
Match the rover to the base: frequency, protocol, and air baud must be identical on both. Configured over Bluetooth, right in the app, even across brands.
In the app

Four tabs. The whole setup.

Connect, Status, Config, Settings. Everything a crew touches in the field, in one place.

What it does

Everything the receiver needs, in your pocket.

Connect

Bluetooth or WiFi

Pair the receivers in your fleet over Bluetooth, or join a receiver's WiFi network. Mixed brands, one app.

Config

Base or rover in a tap

Set any receiver as base or rover, then point it at HPRTK, a caster, or a UHF radio for corrections.

Radio

UHF, dialed in

Frequency, protocol, air baud, and power, set over Bluetooth and matched base to rover across brands.

Status

Live status you can read

Fix type, satellites tracked, PDOP, battery, and position, updating live with a satellite skyplot.

Corrections

HPRTK, CORS, or radio

Bundled HPRTK service, your own CORS or NTRIP caster login, or a local base over UHF. Whichever the job calls for.

Precision

Antenna height, right

Set height and measure method (phase center and more) in metres or feet, so the numbers land true.
