Centimeter GPS.
Your phone does the rest.

Northing One is an open RTK receiver. Pair it over Bluetooth and work to the centimeter — in Tractor GPS today, and in any app that adopts the published protocol. No dealer, no proprietary monitor, no lock-in.

Meet Northing One.

Multi-band, multi-constellation RTK in one sealed dome. Bolt it to a cab roof, pair it once, and work to the centimeter in Tractor GPS — on a published protocol any app can adopt. Guidance, coverage mapping, field boundaries: the work that needs a straight line or an exact point.

Concept render.

Aug 2026 — pilot enclosure in industrial design; electronics and firmware field-tested. What that means.

±2.5 cm repeatable accuracy with RTK corrections RTK Fixed, open sky
seconds to a fixed solution from cold start measured: fixed 88% of a 40-min drive, obstructions included
1–2 s to reacquire after trees, bridges, buildings measured on the same drive
24 s back to fixed after a full corrections outage measured, mid-drive dropout test

Numbers come from logged dual-receiver field sessions, not a brochure — the method and the fine print are in RTK vs PPP.

How it works

Three steps. No dealer.

Mount

Bolt the dome to any vehicle roof.

One cable for power.

Pair

Connect over Bluetooth.

Your phone becomes the monitor.

Work

Corrections stream over your phone's data at about 1 kbps.

Short dead spots are a non-event: the receiver holds centimeter accuracy for about a minute and re-fixes within 24 seconds.

Coverage

Corrections across the continent.

Northing RTK covers the contiguous US and Canada, most of Europe, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Brazil and parts of Australia — the map and the gaps are spelled out in the coverage guide. We check your location at checkout: if RTK doesn't reach you, we tell you before you pay, not after.

Questions

The fine print, in plain English.

Will it work with the app I already use?

Tell us which one. Northing One is a standard Bluetooth receiver, not an MFi accessory that feeds iOS Location Services — so it works with apps that have integrated the published protocol. Today that is Tractor GPS. The protocol is published, so any developer can add support without a partnership agreement; whether a particular app has done so yet is a different question and we will not guess in your favour. The distinction is explained in our iPhone RTK guide.

What happens if I cancel?

Nothing bricks. The receiver falls back to Northing Global — the free positioning mode built into every unit. It works anywhere on Earth with no subscription: 10–20 cm accuracy, a few minutes to settle after power-on. Fine for rough guidance; not for repeatable centimeter work. Resubscribe anytime and RTK is back in seconds. The difference is explained in our RTK vs PPP guide.

Where does RTK coverage reach?

Contiguous US & Canada, most of Europe, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Brazil, and parts of Australia — map and gaps in the coverage guide. We check your location at checkout: if RTK doesn't cover you, we tell you before you pay.

Will I get surprise charges?

No. The renewal is a flat $299 for 12 months — no per-hour metering, no tiers to outgrow — and we email you before every renewal. Very heavy commercial use has a fair-use ceiling stated plainly in the terms. Charges are billed by Oran Dynamics, the company behind Northing — that's the name on your statement.

Does my phone need a data connection in the field?

Yes — corrections ride your phone's connection at about 1 kbps, a trickle even on one bar. Short dead spots are a non-event: in our dropout testing the receiver held centimeter accuracy for about a minute unaided and re-fixed within 24 seconds of the stream returning.
