List of RTK correction services and NTRIP Casters in Portugal
If you’re in Portugal and need centimeter-level position accuracy, you’ll need access to an RTK correction service or NTRIP Caster via the internet.
National RTK network in Portugal
Many countries around the world have established their own National RTK Networks to support various high-precision GNSS applications within their borders, Portugal is among them.
In order to access real-time services, you will need to register on the website or to send them an email to get your NTRIP credentials. Their website is usually not user-friendly, so you will need to find the way to register or contact them. If you have any problem, contact us and our support team will help you.

Free international RTK correction services in Portugal
If you only need pass-to-pass accuracy, and you don't need to compare your measurements with local maps done by other companies, social-based RTK networks are the cheapest way to go. There are also free global correction services with calibrated base stations which are available in Portugal. You can use them to achieve centimeter-level accuracy if you are lucky to have a base station close to you (remember that RTK only works up to 35-50 km). Go to the links below and check the map to see if you have a base station nearby:
RTK2GO | Free global community based correction network without quality of service. It is good enough for pass-to-pass centimeter accuracy, but not good for calibrated surveying applications. To view the coverage map, open this page and click "View all" on the top right. |
IGS | Free global low density high quality correction service. View the coverage map and register for the service. |
