The Benchmark BM999 Rover GNSS package is a smart, visual-ready surveying system that combines tilt compensation, visual stakeout, and photogrammetry tools into one compact and durable package. Built for surveyors who need flexibility, precision, and next-gen capability in the field, this rover kit arrives fully configured and ready to work.
At the heart of the system is the BM999 GNSS receiver, which supports all major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, SBAS) and delivers sub-centimeter RTK accuracy with an impressive 50 Hz update rate. With a built-in IMU sensor supporting ±60° tilt, users can quickly measure without leveling, saving time on rough or obstructed terrain.
What truly sets this rover apart are its dual cameras - a front-facing lens to guide stakeout visually, and a downward-facing camera for capturing precise ground shots or video. The camera system enables three powerful workflows:
- Real-time visual stakeout via Cube-a
- Image-based coordinate extraction from video in hard-to-reach areas
- Photogrammetry-based 3D modeling, using software like Cube-3D, VScloud, or Cube-a v7
The BM999 supports RTK corrections over both UHF and cellular networks (NTRIP), with dual-band UHF firmware activated and a 4G LTE modem built in. Its USB-C PD fast charging and 13.6Ah internal battery provide up to 10 hours of continuous field operation.
Control is handled via the S80 Rugged Android Tablet, with Cube-a v6.x software pre-installed and fully licensed—no activation, no subscription. The software supports stakeout, DXF/CAD workflows, cloud sync, COGO tools, point projection, and more.
Rugged, powerful, and compact, the BM999 rover comes complete with a carbon fiber GPS pole, tripod, magnetic bracket, and controller—making this kit ideal for surveyors working solo or in crews who need accuracy, speed, and visual capability all in one.
