@leegreen Makes sense that they are using the same stations, as RTKData also claims about 20K stations. My problem with Geodnet when I tested it was t...
@mightymoe If you take the RTX ITRF current epoch coordinate and run it through HTDP you will get the (AFAIK) transformation that OPUS is doing.
OPUS (and RTX) return ITRF2020 at the current epoch. The ".6928" is a fraction of a year. I maintain that 2 (or maybe 3) decimals is sufficient to def...
