What this means
- What each maker says it uses. A boundary wire, RTK satellite positioning, LiDAR or cameras, alone or together.
- Network RTK needs a phone signal. A mower that takes its corrections over 4G needs cellular coverage where it mows.
- No method works everywhere. Satellite positioning weakens under trees and beside walls; that limit is the most common owner complaint.
