Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces?

Why use a GNSS-aided INS like the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces instead of GNSS alone?

A GNSS-aided INS fuses inertial measurements with satellite positioning, so the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces keeps delivering accurate position, roll, pitch and heading during GNSS outages — in tunnels, urban canyons or under jamming — where a standalone GNSS receiver would fail.

Where is the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces available?

The Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces is available through Leo Drive in the following region: Turkey. For other regions, please contact Leo Drive.

How can I get the datasheet and technical documents for the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces?

Please contact Leo Drive to request the datasheet, user manual and other technical documents for the Apogee-D: INS/GNSS for Compact Spaces.
