Skylark Performance Data: Korea Drive Test
Swift Navigation partnered with Korea Telecom (KT) to evaluate the performance of its Skylark™ Precise Positioning Service across a 2,526 km drive spanning cities, highways, tunnels, and mountains. The test, conducted in February 2025, validated the benefits of cloud-based GNSS corrections in Korea’s complex driving environments, delivering highly precise positioning for automotive-grade applications. The results confirmed Skylark’s ability to significantly improve positioning accuracy, achieving a 21x better result than uncorrected GNSS across the entire test, reducing error from 6.28 m to 29 cm.
How GNSS Corrections Are Powering Safer, Smarter Micromobility
Micromobility is entering a new phase—moving beyond early adoption toward sustainable, scalable growth. As the market matures, operators are under increasing pressure to meet safety, compliance, and efficiency standards. High-precision GNSS correction services are emerging as a critical tool to meet these demands. To explore this shift, we spoke with Swift Navigation’s Jochen Bruns, who shares how cloud-based solutions like Skylark™ are helping fleet operators build smarter, more reliable micromobility systems.
Precise GNSS to Build and Maintain Accurate Maps
Precise GNSS makes it easy to build and update accurate maps using just a camera and a GNSS receiver. It helps spot real changes, avoid false alerts, and scale mapping without the need for costly equipment or complex processing.
Precise Positioning and the Future of Scalable Autonomy: Q&A with Tim Harris, CEO of Swift Navigation
Swift Navigation recently announced a $50 million Series E funding round, marking a major milestone in its mission to deliver precise positioning at global scale. In this exclusive Q&A, CEO and Co-Founder Tim Harris discusses the evolution of Swift’s core product, Skylark™ Precise Positioning Service, and how it’s transforming industries through centimeter-level GNSS accuracy.
The Unexpected Journey to Self-Driving
When we think about self-driving cars, many of us picture a futuristic robotaxi with no steering wheel, whisking passengers through city streets. This “all or nothing” vision of autonomy, with fully driverless vehicles as the goal, has long been the North Star for the industry. While companies like Waymo and (more recently) Tesla have indeed launched limited robotaxi services in a handful of cities, the most impactful and widely accessible innovations in autonomous driving are emerging from a different, less flashy, but ultimately more pervasive path.
RTK for Robotic Lawn Mowers: Insights from Swift
To explore the evolving landscape of robotic lawn mowers and the role of high-precision GNSS in their autonomous navigation, we sat down with Alberto Bushell, Robotics Market Specialist at Swift Navigation. With an engineering degree in geomatics and over 15 years in the GNSS industry, spanning both technical and commercial roles, Alberto brings unparalleled expertise in delivering advanced positioning solutions for the autonomous robotics sector.
How Skylark Defends Against GNSS Spoofing
Spoofing is no longer a niche concern—it’s a growing threat to GNSS-reliant systems across aviation, autonomy, and logistics. This article explains how Swift’s Skylark GNSS correction service defends against spoofing through secure infrastructure, anomaly detection, and validated satellite data.
Top 5 Industries Using Cloud-Based GNSS Corrections
This post explores five key industries that are experiencing substantial benefits from the integration of cloud-based GNSS correction services in 2025.
TecSolutions Consultants: Precise Utility Locating
Utility locating crews need simple tools to achieve high accuracy location. TecSolutions is delivering that simplicity
with a complete solution that leverages Swift’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service to enhance precision right out of
the box.
The Critical Role of Precise GNSS in AV
On April 8, 2025, Swift Navigation partnered with the Society of Automotive Analysts to host a panel on the future
of precise GNSS positioning and its role in enabling safe, scalable autonomy— and to demonstrate its power by navigating a complex test circuit using only Swift’s GNSS solution, without any visual aid.
