MyWay RTK Post-Spring Report: Most Common Issues Reported
As the spring planting season comes to a close, we’d like to share with our customers the most common issues and questions that came into the support desk.
- Cell Issues— Cell issues continue to be the most called about issue from those experiencing problems. The “User Lost Connection to MyWay RTK” error message is provided in the link below. As cell coverage continues to improve this issue will only improve.
- Base Station Issues—MyWay RTK does not own any base stations. Instead the base stations are owned by local individuals, we call “Partners,” who supply the facility and internet connection for the base station to function. When the local internet at a site experiences issues that site will be down (and appear red in color on MyWay XChange) and a customer within the coverage circle will not be able to connect to it. In that case we will send the customers to the next closest base station until the internet connection at their base station is restored.
- Low Satellite Count Issues—We saw this issue by some users who were close to 20 miles away from a base and did not have access to GLONASS satellites. Getting a GLONASS unlock (which may seem like an expensive initial investment) has proven to be a priceless asset to those who have access to it. Essentially, this gives the user access to another satellite constellation, which makes getting and maintaining RTK fix easier the further you move away from a base.
