Search our FAQ for answers to anything you might ask.
Who can benefit from GEO-PULSE?
There are over 1.4B vehicles on the road today. Any consumer or commercial vehicle operator that desires more reliable GPS accuracy should consider GEO-PULSE. Compared to Phone and In-Dash GPS systems, GEO-PULSE is more precise, repeatable, and accurate.
Can I use on my bike, rickshaw, motorcycle or just carry in my hand?
Yes, you can use the GEO-PULSE on anything that moves, and you can try to complete Quests using any mobile modality desired.
How is the GEO-PULSE so accurate compared to GPS?
The GEO-PULSE utilizes an accuracy-enhancement signal (“RTK”) from GEODNET. RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) is a positioning technique that enhances the precision of position data derived from satellite-based positioning systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
RTK can achieve centimeter-level accuracy in real-time. The GEO-PULSE device includes a 1-year pre-paid subscription to the GEODNET RTK network.
What is a GEODNET Quest?
A GEODNET Quest is a navigation or driving task that once completed may result in the awarding of $GEOD or other participating tokens.
Is the GEO-PULSE a Mining device?
GEO-PULSE is not a passive crypto mining device. The major benefits of the device are enhanced positional accuracy while driving as well as the opportunity to participate in token-reward Quests. Quest rewards are not guaranteed and require active participation.
How to quickly install?
The GEO-PULSE easily installs on the dashboard of the car with the included mounting kit. In most vehicles the performance when mounted on the dashboard is more than adequate to achieve RTK fix (0.1m accuracy or better) in clear sky conditions.
Can I install externally?
Yes, the GEO-PULSE is rugged and waterproof. It installs on the car roof with its built-in magnet. External installation is optional.
What data is collected?
Raw GNSS signal data, RTK Fix data, IMU data, and other RF signal data. Link to Privacy Policy.
How does it work with Google Maps and other standard mobile Apps?
GEO-PULSE can be used with standard mobile apps such as Google Maps to provide position accuracy better than standard phone or in-dash GPS. For Android, the Mock Location service is utilized. For iOS, GPS data is provided thru their native platform; however, MFI (Made for iOS) certification is required. MFI certification is planned for Q1 2025 and will require an OTA FW upgrade.
Will the GEODNET RTK subscription expire?
The GEODNET RTK service is enabled for 1-year. After 1-year the GEODNET RTK service can be renewed via GEOD token or fiat payment for $20.
