i89 features
Compact GNSS RTK that integrates the latest GNSS, IMU, and dual-camera video-photogrammetry technologies

Visual Stakeout Made Easy
With immersive 3D visual navigation and real-time guidance, the CHCNAV i89 transforms stakeout workflows. Follow on-screen arrows, measure from photos, and stake points with centimeter-level accuracy—even in obstructed or GNSS-limited zones. Boost field efficiency by up to 50% with intuitive, camera-assisted stakeout powered by advanced IMU and visual technologies.

Survey What GNSS Can’t See
The CHCNAV i89 Visual Survey feature enables you to measure points directly from video frames using its premium dual-camera system. Capture accurate 3D coordinates in GNSS-denied areas such as under bridges, building corners, or densely forested sites. Perfect for hazardous, obstructed, or hard-to-reach locations, visual survey ensures no detail is left behind.

Smarter 3D Modeling with i89 GNSS (as an option)
The CHCNAV i89 enhances 3D modeling workflows by combining high-precision GNSS data with aerial surveys for joint reconstruction. Easily integrate RTK ground control with UAV imagery to reduce distortion, fill gaps, and correct occlusions—especially in complex environments. Compatible with popular tools like Agisoft Metashape, the i89 lets you optimize your models without additional software costs.

Superior GNSS Performance in Any Terrain
Powered by CHCNAV’s advanced iStar RF‑SoC engine, the i89 delivers exceptional positioning reliability even in challenging environments. With 1408 GNSS channels, hybrid constellation tracking, and narrowband interference rejection, it offers a 15% performance boost and 20% better signal stability in urban canyons, under tree cover, and near interference sources.
