Brochure & Data Sheet

User Manual How-To

Overview

The Stonex S599 GNSS Receiver is a compact, lightweight GNSS rover built for surveyors, GIS professionals, and mapping crews who need high-accuracy positioning without carrying a full-size receiver. Weighing just 385 g and measuring only 98 × 98 × 46 mm, the S599 is designed for fast, comfortable field work while still delivering professional RTK performance. 

Powered by a 1408-channel multi-constellation GNSS engine, the S599 tracks GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, and SBAS signals for reliable positioning in a wide range of environments. Its compact design, advanced IMU tilt compensation, built-in camera, and IP68 durability make it a strong choice for modern survey and GIS workflows.

Built for Lightweight Rover Work

The S599 is designed for users who want a smaller, easier-to-carry GNSS receiver without sacrificing accuracy. Its ultra-compact body makes it ideal for long days in the field, mobile GIS collection, construction mapping, and rover work where speed and portability matter.

Ideal for:

• GNSS and RTK surveying
• GIS data collection
• Construction layout and mapping
• Topographic surveys
• Utility and infrastructure mapping
• One-person rover workflows
• High-accuracy field data collection

Despite its small size, the S599 offers the performance needed for professional work, including fast initialization, strong signal tracking, and stable RTK positioning.

IMU Tilt Compensation

The Stonex S599 features advanced IMU tilt technology, allowing users to measure accurate points without keeping the pole perfectly level. The system supports tilt measurements up to 60 degrees, helping crews work faster around obstacles, building corners, fences, traffic areas, and difficult terrain.

This reduces time spent leveling the pole and helps improve productivity during high-volume data collection.

Built-In Camera for AR Stakeout

The integrated camera supports augmented reality stakeout workflows by displaying navigation and target distance directly in the field. This helps users find points faster and work more confidently during layout and mapping tasks.

The camera features 2 MP resolution, 25 frames per second, and an 88-degree field of view, making it a practical tool for visual guidance during stakeout.

Rugged Compact Design

The S599 is built for real field conditions. Its IP68-rated housing protects against dust and water, while the compact receiver body makes it easy to carry and use for long periods. The internal battery provides up to 12 hours of operation, helping crews stay productive throughout the workday.

Its small size makes it especially useful for GIS crews, surveyors, and contractors who want a lightweight rover setup without giving up professional-grade performance.
