Implementing a High-Precision Boat Navigation System Using Raspberry Pi with RTK and GPS Integration via ESP32

This paper presents the development of a high-precision navigation system for small maritime vessels, utilizing a Raspberry Pi as the central processing unit, combined with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies integrated via an ESP32 microcontroller. The system is designed to enhance navigation accuracy, leveraging RTK corrections to achieve centimeter-level precision. This cost-effective solution is ideal for small-scale maritime applications requiring reliable and accurate positioning. The system's performance is tested in various marine environments, demonstrating significant improvements over conventional GPS-based navigation systems.
