The demands on today’s surveyors are greater than ever. Projects range from cadastral mapping in dense urban environments to complex earthwork calculations on active construction sites. Traditionally, meeting these diverse needs meant carrying multiple devices, switching workflows mid-survey, and losing precious time.
That changes with the CHCNAV ViLi i100 — the all-in-one Visual-LiDAR GNSS RTK receiver built to handle every workflow with consistent, centimeter-level accuracy.

Why the ViLi i100 Stands Out
The ViLi i100 isn’t just another GNSS receiver. It’s CHCNAV’s new flagship device, engineered around multi-sensor fusion — GNSS + IMU + Vision + LiDAR — to provide accuracy surveyors can trust in any environment. Whether you’re working in open fields, narrow alleys, dense forests, or under bridges, the ViLi i100 delivers reliable results where conventional GNSS receivers fail.
Key highlights include:
Consistent Accuracy in Obstruction → Thanks to advanced signal filtering and the SFix 2.0 engine, surveyors can maintain 5 cm accuracy even within 20 m of GNSS-denied environments. No more switching to a total station when you lose sky view.
Contactless Point Capture with Vi-LiDAR → Capture a scene once, then extract multiple points later with accuracy up to ±5 cm. Ideal for hazardous areas, stockpiles, and hard-to-reach corners.
3D Point Cloud Earthwork Calculations → Instantly calculate cut-and-fill volumes on-site with 99.98% reliability. What used to take hours of post-processing now happens in minutes.
Dual-Camera CAD + AR Visual Stakeout → Enhance field efficiency by up to 50% with visual navigation and stakeout support directly from the device.
Built for Every Workflow
From traditional RTK to advanced LiDAR-assisted surveying, the ViLi i100 adapts seamlessly to your needs. It supports:
CORS (network corrections for regional projects)
UHF base-rover setups with integrated 1W radio
PPP modes for remote or infrastructure-free sites
This versatility makes the ViLi i100 a true workhorse, capable of replacing multiple devices and simplifying your kit without sacrificing performance.
Who Is It For?
Surveying firms needing a precise, reliable RTK receiver for cadastral, boundary, and topo surveys — a strong alternative to Trimble/Leica high-end receivers.
Construction enterprises managing large-scale projects that require multiple receivers in the field.
Government agencies and land administration projects needing trusted, defensible accuracy.
Available Now
The ViLi i100 isn’t a future concept — it’s here. Available to order from September 15, 2025, the ViLi i100 is ready to help surveyors tackle every workflow with one flagship device.
