Point One Navigation

Point One Navigation operates Polaris, a GNSS RTK corrections network delivering 1-3 cm (True RTK) and sub-10 cm (Virtual RTK) positioning across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, alongside FusionEngine, its GNSS/INS sensor-fusion positioning engine, and the Atlas and Standard Dev Kit hardware platforms. Developers reach the network three ways: a standards-based NTRIP interface that streams RTCM v3.2 MSM4 corrections to any compatible receiver, a native Polaris protocol with an API-key-to-bearer-token exchange, and a Personal Access Token-authenticated GraphQL platform API for device, tag, license, device-profile and reference station management with real-time subscriptions.

Point One Navigation is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Location, GNSS, Positioning, Geospatial, and RTK.

Point One Navigation’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, and 30 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because both conditional facets apply and carry 25 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 31.6 — up to +13.7 composite points
Contract Governance scores 18.2 — up to +9.8 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/point-one-navigation/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/point-one-navigation to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving testing, deployment, robotaxi service)	distribution	9.6 (thin)	-	-
Overture Maps Foundation (members + data contributors)	distribution	9.6 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

    or LOCAL mountpoint, and stream RTCM v3.2 MSM4 corrections for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS. Position is supplied
    to the caster as NMEA GGA. A companion HTTPS endpoint exchanges a single Polaris API key for temporary, roughly 24-hour
    NTRIP credentials so a device fleet can share one key without sharing one credential.
