Who operates it
- CROPOS (Croatian Positioning System) is operated by the State Geodetic Administration of Croatia.
- It is the official national CORS network, supporting the country’s geodetic reference system.
Availability & access
- CROPOS is a paid subscription service, offered to surveyors, engineers, and other professional users.
- Access is provided through NTRIP for real-time corrections and via the CROPOS portal for RINEX data downloads.
Coverage & scale
- The network covers the entire territory of Croatia with a dense distribution of stations.
- It is integrated into the broader European Position Determination System (EUPOS) and aligned with the European Terrestrial Reference System (ETRS89).
Typical use cases
- Cadastral surveying and property registration.
- Engineering and construction projects requiring centimeter accuracy.
- GIS mapping for municipalities and infrastructure planning.
- Agricultural applications where precision guidance is needed.
How it’s used in practice
- Surveyors connect GNSS rovers to the CROPOS NTRIP service for RTK corrections.
- Post-processing is supported with downloadable RINEX files for static and kinematic workflows.
Notes
- CROPOS is considered one of the most advanced CORS networks in the Balkans.
- It provides reliable, high-quality data and plays a central role in modernizing Croatia’s geospatial infrastructure.
