CHCNAV offers a complete range of professional geomatics equipment, including GNSS receivers, LiDAR scanning systems, photogrammetry and LiDAR survey drones, hydrographic echo-sounding boats, and reference station hardware. These solutions support land surveying, mapping, construction, and environmental data collection workflows.
GNSS receivers are ideal for control, layout, and general positioning. LiDAR systems enable fast 3D data capture in complex or vegetated environments. Survey drones provide efficient aerial mapping, while USV echo-sounding boats are used for hydrographic depth measurement. The right choice depends on terrain, accuracy requirements, and project scale.
Yes. CHCNAV GNSS equipment works with widely used field software such as MicroSurvey FieldGenius, Carlson SurvCE, and SurvPC, allowing integration into established survey workflows.
Many CHCNAV receivers include integrated radios and hot-swappable batteries designed for extended operation on large job sites. Actual range depends on terrain, antenna setup, and correction method, but built-in radios support reliable RTK communication for typical survey environments.
Yes. CHCNAV provides LiDAR scanners and mobile mapping platforms capable of capturing dense 3D point clouds for corridor mapping, infrastructure inspection, forestry analysis, and terrain modeling. Demo opportunities may be available for teams evaluating mobile scanning workflows.
Pricing varies widely depending on payload type, accuracy level, and included software or accessories. Entry-level mapping drones differ significantly in cost from full LiDAR mobile mapping systems. Project requirements and workflow goals determine the most appropriate configuration.
Yes. CHCNAV USV echo-sounding boats are designed for hydrographic surveying, reservoir measurement, dredging monitoring, and inland water mapping. They combine GNSS positioning with sonar depth measurement for accurate underwater terrain data.
Selection depends on required accuracy, survey environment, data type, and workflow efficiency. Many projects combine GNSS control with drone or LiDAR data capture to achieve complete site information. Guidance helps ensure the chosen system matches real field requirements.
CHCNAV and BenchMark Equipment
The CHCNAV i50 GNSS receiver is the go to solution for many of our customers. Built to an IP67 rating and capable of working from -40°C to 65°C, the i50 can withstand anything from the Alaskan winter to summer in the Mojave desert. With their internal 2W UHF radios, an i50 base and rover set can get a fix where the competition has to rely on base booster radios or repeaters. However if the 2W radios still can’t get you the range you need, the i50s also come with a built in 4G modem for VRS or point to point cellular corrections. The i50s also deliver on flexibility, whether you need to work in standard Transparent, or Trimtalk protocols, the i50 will be able to work with a variety of other equipment.
