1. A device comprising:
a GNSS antenna configured to receive GNSS signals transmitted from a plurality of GNSS sources;
a GNSS antenna support structure mounted within a vehicle, wherein the GNSS antenna is mounted to the GNSS antenna support structure, wherein the GNSS antenna support structure is configured to keep directionality of the GNSS antenna pointing up during motion of the vehicle; and
a processor configured to:
calculate position adjustments to the GNSS antenna that keep the GNSS antenna pointing up during the motion of the vehicle; and
provide control signals to one or more actuators in the GNSS antenna support structure, wherein the control signals direct the one or more actuators to make the calculated position adjustments to the GNSS antenna.
