We can do survey-grade observations while in motion using RTK, the only caveat is you have to maintain satellite lock otherwise you have to re-initialize. The systems are sophisticated enough now that it isn’t much work to setup. Some of my favorite projects I’ve done involved mounting a RTK GPS to an ATV/quad and driving back and forth across a 400-acre farm for a topo survey, with the GPS automatically taking shots every 20 feet. I’d say the more efficient way to do it nowadays would be with drone photogrammetry.
