Has anyone tried the Garmin GLO Bluetooth? Garrett45 374843 If I turn off Location Services and maintain my bluetooth connection to the Bad Elf, Collector tells me it requires Location Services to be turned on.Īre you saying the Geneq blue worked with Collector? When I open the Collector App it still seems to be using my phone's Location Services and not the GPS. Can anyone provide a step by step? I'm using an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1. I have a Bad Elf, but am unable to use it with the Collector App. I found that I could get meter - sub meter collections on a regular basis. They also make repeat positioning a reality. Both are excellent and greatly increase the accuracy of the data collection. I have been testing a few of the Geneq blue, both the GNSS and II-B beacon model. He compared the result with their pre-surveyed points. I just met one customer during this week Developer Summit. I will post info here when I find out how it works. We are in the process of installing the app on our iPads. This along with the next release of Collector enabling off-line recording could be an interesting combination. Goes on sale in the UK next month apparently. In conjunction with one of our clients, we hope very soon to be testing out the Geneq iSXBlue II which has just gained Apple approvaland should deliver 30cm real-time accuracy. Or you can use GPS cable to connect other high end receivers ( ).įor Android device, any external GPS with Bluetooth module should be able to work.Īs a note, all those gadgets will help smartphone to provide better location and our collector app just leverage it. It doesn't seem to mention the specific GPS devices used during testing.įor iOS device, you can try Dual ( ).

Has anyone tried using an external bluetooth GPS receiver with Collector? If so, how has it performed and what model/make is the receiver? We're looking to get sub-meter accuracy using Collector and am curious if anyone has had success doing this.
