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 publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Location, GNSS, Positioning, Geospatial, and RTK.

Point One Navigation’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 26 more developer resources.

  name: Polaris RTK Network (NTRIP)
  description: Standards-based NTRIP interface to the Point One Polaris RTK corrections network. Clients connect over NTRIP
    1.0 or 2.0 to a regional caster, authenticate with Basic auth using a unique per-connection identifier, select the ITRF2014
    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.

  name: Polaris Native API (Point One Open)
  description: The native Point One corrections protocol. A Polaris API key is POSTed unauthenticated to https://api.pointonenav.com/api/v1/auth/token
    and exchanged for a bearer access token valid for 604800 seconds; the client then opens a TLS stream to rtk.pointonenav.com:8090,
    sends an Authorization system message carrying the token, and periodically reports its position as an ECEF or LLA system
    message. The server returns RTCM3 corrections outside the system-message envelope. Messages use a 0xB5 0x62 framed, little-endian,
    checksummed binary format.
