If all goes well you should have a very precise location for your antenna. For SparkFun RTK products we are most interested in ECEF coordinates. [ECEF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECEF) is *fascinating*. Rather than lat and long, ECEF is the number of meters from the internationally agreed upon reference frame of the center of mass of the Earth. Basically, your ECEF coordinates are the distance you are from the *center of the Earth*. Neat.

Your RTK device has the ability to both serve RTCM correction data (aka Server) to an NTRIP Caster, and get RTCM correction data (aka Client) from an NTRIP Caster. But how does one get an NTRIP Caster?

There are a variety of Windows applications out there that claim to be an NTRIP caster. We found them to be generally terrible. The easiest solution is using [RTK2GO](rtk2go.com) and [Emlid Caster](caster.emlid.com).

[RTK2Go](http://rtk2go.com/) seems to be a pet project of SNIP. We recommend creating a mount point and a password through RTK2GO.com. Yes, the RTK2go website looks looks spammy but the service works well and is used widely. Please see [RTK2Go](http://rtk2go.com/) for details about creating an account. It's free and takes only a few minutes. Once activated you will be provided with your Mountpoint name and Mountpoint PW. These two credentials are used in a NTRIP Server setup:
