Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces?
The Apogee-D is part of the Apogee series of high-performance MEMS-based inertial systems, offering outstanding orientation and navigation capabilities in a compact and cost-effective design. This all-in-one INS/GNSS solution features an RTK and PPP-ready GNSS receiver, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium but high performance is essential.
Why use a GNSS-aided INS like the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces instead of GNSS alone?
A GNSS-aided INS fuses inertial measurements with satellite positioning, so the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces keeps delivering accurate position, roll, pitch and heading during GNSS outages — in tunnels, urban canyons or under jamming — where a standalone GNSS receiver would fail.
Where is the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces available?
The Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces is available through Leo Drive in the following region: Turkey. For other regions, please contact Leo Drive.
How can I get the datasheet and technical documents for the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces?
