Automatically picks a nearby reference receiver. Currently free in beta, but will become a paid service with a free tier for evaluation and low-volume usage.
- HowToCreate GPS/GNSS log file parser - Upload gnss_log output from GPSTest or Google's GnssLogger, or a CSV file containing the same columns. The tool processes the data, and applies a static Kalman filter to refine the position of the GNSS device, much better than basic averaging, since it can use the estimated accuracy for weighting.
- earth-gravitational-model - A lightweight port of the GeoTools EarthGravitationalModel as a Java library to convert WGS84 (GNSS) altitude to EGM84 (height above mean sea level). Can be used on Android without requiring the entire GeoTools suite.
- giulioscattolin/google-gnss-logger - A Java library that facilitates reading, writing and processing of sensor events and raw GNSS measurements encoded according to the Google's GNSS Logger application format.
- ntripstreams - Python interface to transfer GNSS and related data between GNSS instruments, Ntrip caster and users using the Ntrip protocol.
- gps_pvt - An Open Source Program Package for GNSS Positioning which is runnable and controllable via Ruby. RINEX ver.2/3, SP3, ANTEX, and u-blox UBX parsers are included.
- rust-rinex - Rust package to parse and produce RINEX files
- rust-sinex - Rust package to parse SINEX files
