Overview

The CHCNAV LT60H is a rugged Android smartphone with an integrated 1408-channel, multi-frequency GNSS RTK receiver capable of centimeter-level positioning. It combines professional GNSS performance with the portability and familiar workflow of an Android smartphone, making it well suited for precision GIS data collection, asset management, utility inspections, mapping, pre-construction surveys, and other field applications where carrying a separate GNSS receiver and controller may not be necessary.

Unlike a standard rugged smartphone that provides only meter-level internal GPS, the LT60H supports full multi-constellation GNSS tracking and provides maximum horizontal RTK accuracy of approximately 2 cm when connected to a suitable RTK correction source. Its integrated 4G modem allows the device to receive NTRIP / CORS network corrections directly, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 provide additional field connectivity.

The LT60H combines this positioning capability with a 6.3-inch sunlight-readable display, Android operating system, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, IP67 protection, and 1.5-meter drop resistance, creating a compact all-in-one field data collection solution.

1408-Channel Survey-Grade GNSS

The LT60H integrates a 1408-channel GNSS positioning module, giving it significantly greater positioning capability than a conventional smartphone or handheld GIS device.

Supported GNSS signals include:

• GPS: L1C/A, L1C, L2P(Y), L2C, L5
• GLONASS: L1, L2
• BeiDou: B1I, B2I, B3I, B1C, B2a, B2b
• Galileo: E1, E5a, E5b, E6*
• QZSS: L1, L2, L5, L6*

CHCNAV specifies maximum RTK horizontal positioning accuracy of approximately 2 cm HRMS, allowing the LT60H to be used for applications that require substantially greater precision than consumer-grade smartphone GNSS.

*Certain signals may depend on firmware and satellite service availability.

---

Integrated RTK Network Corrections

The LT60H can receive RTK corrections directly through its built-in cellular modem.

When used with LandStar 8, the device can connect to an NTRIP / CORS correction network using its own 4G data connection. Users can enter the correction service IP or domain, port, mountpoint, username, and password directly in LandStar and save the configuration as a reusable rover work mode.

This creates a compact workflow where the same device handles:

• GNSS positioning
• Cellular correction data
• Survey software
• Mapping
• Data storage
• Photography
• Field communication

For network RTK applications, no separate external GNSS receiver is required.

---

LandStar 8 Data Collection Software

The LT60H is designed to work directly with CHCNAV LandStar 8, CHCNAV’s Android field surveying and data collection software.

LandStar provides workflows for:

• RTK GNSS surveying
• Point collection
• Control point surveying
• Continuous surveying
• Point and line stakeout
• CAD stakeout
• Surface stakeout
• Road stakeout
• Coordinate system management
• Site calibration
• CORS / NTRIP configuration
• Import and export
• Mapping and GIS data collection
• Area and volume calculations
• Project management

The LT60H user guide specifically provides procedures for launching LandStar, creating a project, selecting a coordinate system, connecting to the internal LT60H GNSS module, configuring network RTK corrections, and beginning a map survey.

LandStar licensing is sold separately unless specifically included with the selected package.

---

All-in-One GNSS Smartphone Workflow

One of the main advantages of the LT60H is that the GNSS receiver, Android controller, cellular modem, display, cameras, and battery are all integrated into one handheld device.

For precision GIS or mapping applications, this can eliminate the need for a traditional setup consisting of:

• External GNSS receiver
• Survey pole
• Separate controller
• Cellular hotspot

The LT60H is particularly useful when portability and mobility are more important than conventional pole-mounted surveying workflows.

For applications requiring a highly defined antenna reference point or conventional survey-pole setup, the LT60H also incorporates a dedicated GNSS antenna connector on the top of the device.

---

6.3" Sunlight-Readable Display

The LT60H features a 6.3-inch IPS touchscreen designed for outdoor field use.

Display specifications include:

• 6.3" touchscreen
• 2340 × 1080 resolution
• Approximately 400 PPI
• 550 cd/m² brightness
• Capacitive 5-point multi-touch
• Corning Gorilla Glass 3

The display is designed to remain readable in bright outdoor conditions while providing enough screen area for maps, survey points, GIS attributes, and LandStar field workflows.

Its smartphone-sized form factor also makes the LT60H easier to carry than a full-size field tablet.

---

Android Platform

The LT60H runs Android and supports Google Mobile Services, allowing it to function as both a professional GNSS field device and a conventional Android smartphone.

CHCNAV’s current product specifications list:

• 2.0 GHz octa-core processor
• 8 GB RAM
• 256 GB internal storage
• Google Mobile Services
• Android Enterprise Recommended

 

This allows field crews to use LandStar alongside compatible Android applications for mapping, communications, cloud storage, document management, photography, and other work-related tasks.

---

Compatible with Third-Party Android Mapping Apps

The LT60H is not limited to CHCNAV software.

CHCNAV specifically notes compatibility with third-party Android mapping applications, supported by its Google Mobile Services and Android Enterprise Recommended certifications.

This makes the device particularly attractive for:

• GIS departments
• Utility companies
• Asset management teams
• Environmental surveys
• Inspection crews
• Mapping professionals

Organizations can use their preferred Android field applications while taking advantage of the LT60H’s integrated high-precision GNSS positioning.

---

4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC

The LT60H provides multiple wireless communication options for both correction data and general field connectivity.

Connectivity includes:

• 4G LTE
• Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
• Bluetooth 5.1
• NFC
• USB Type-C / OTG

 

The integrated cellular modem is especially important for RTK surveying because it allows the device to receive network corrections without needing a separate phone or mobile hotspot.

---

8 MP Front and 16 MP Rear Cameras

The LT60H includes:

• 8 MP front camera
• 16 MP rear camera
• Integrated flashlight

 

The cameras can be used for:

• Asset documentation
• Site photographs
• Utility inspections
• GIS attribute collection
• Project documentation
• General field photography

When used with compatible field software, photographs can supplement coordinate data to provide a more complete record of surveyed assets or site conditions.

---

6,000 mAh Battery

The LT60H uses an integrated 6,000 mAh lithium-ion battery.

CHCNAV specifies up to 8 hours of continuous operation under its stated test conditions, including continuous data collection at 25°C and full screen brightness.

The device supports:

• USB Type-C charging
• QC 3.0 fast charging
• Approximately 4-hour charging time

 

The included kit provides the USB Type-C cable and US power adapter required for charging.

---

Rugged IP67 Field Design

The LT60H is designed for professional field use rather than consumer-only environments.

Its rugged specifications include:

• IP67 dust and water protection
• 1.5 m drop resistance onto concrete
• 5%–95% non-condensing humidity tolerance
• Operating temperature from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F)
• Storage temperature from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F)

 

This makes the LT60H suitable for construction sites, utility work, field inspections, mapping, and other environments where a standard consumer smartphone may be vulnerable to dust, moisture, and accidental drops.

---

Compact and Portable

The LT60H measures approximately:

212.4 × 81.5 × 32.8 mm (8.4 × 3.2 × 1.3 in)

and weighs approximately:

400 g (14.1 oz)

 

Its compact handheld form factor makes it significantly easier to carry than a traditional GNSS receiver and controller combination, particularly for GIS, asset management, and inspection workflows that require operators to move frequently between locations.

---

Ideal Applications

The CHCNAV LT60H is well suited for:

• Precision GIS data collection
• Asset management
• Utility inspections
• Utility mapping
• Pre-construction surveys
