I have used the GNSS Status Utility with firmware 5.03 to apply NMEA setting to the R1 so that I can connect to it through bluetooth directly from Collector. It seems to be working well and I'm getting 20" accuracy without GNSS Status Utility app installed on the tablet. I can see all the NMEA data when I tap the symbol at the lower right of the screen. I have added the relevant fields into the FGDB feature class table before sharing the hosted service to ArcGIS Portal. The feature class is copied to the managed database in that process. So even though I can see the data in Collector while viewing the map, it is not being stored in the feature class when I collect a point.
Hi Daryl,
With regards to the issue you're running into with the missing GNSS metadata fields, we have a known issue with the current Collector for ArcGIS version where the values aren't being written to the fields when the data is stored in a PostgreSQL database. Because it sounds like you're working with the ArcGIS Data Store with Portal, PostgreSQL is the database that runs on the backend. Therefore this is probably the issue you're running into, as I recently reproduced it on my end using Portal as well. The problem is due to an attribute field casing discrepancy between Collector and PostgreSQL. This issue is reproducible on iOS, Android, and Windows. This issue will be resolved in the next app update that gets released.
What operating system are you working with Collector on?
Thank you.

Hi Dale,
Because your issue is unique to iOS and not on Android for the same map, it sounds like you're running into a different issue than what I described above. Does this issue happen for every point you collect on iOS or is it intermittent behavior?
Are all the metadata fields blank or just a few of them?

I am having the same problem but only when using iOS (iPad mini 4). When I use an android device (Galaxy S7) the fields populate.
Thanks so much for the update Kevin. You're right I have been using a hosted layer to try and collect the data.
Hi Kevin,
Yes, it's every point and all of the metadata fields are blank using iOS.
Thank you for that information. As a test, to remove your map and data from the equation (even though it works on Android), try the following on iOS:
1. Sign out of your current account
2. Click 'Try It' at the bottom of the Collector splash screen.
3. Just like you did originally when you signed in, go into the Settings and set up your Location Provider to use the GPS receiver being used.
4. Once that's done, launch the GNSS Capture map.
5. Collect new point features using the GPS receiver and see if the metadata is being stored for those.
We can then go from there, depending on those results.
I will try it out tomorrow. Thanks so much!
That worked! I see the metadata after collecting a point when not logged in
and using the GNSS Capture map.
Kevin,
Where do I go from here? My data is a hosted feature layer on Portal for ArcGIS.
Update! With the latest version of Collector installed I am now able to record the NMEA data in a hosted feature layer or a feature service from our enterprise GDB.
I have the same issue: The same Collector application deployed to #PostgreSQL on Linux fails to collect the metadata in iOS or Android phones. The version tied to Oracle 11g works fine.
Both are using the same Phones and R1 devices. Is there a version of PostgreSQL that is involved?
We are using Collector apps downloaded this month so should be good there.
This was one of the only postings I was able to find that was related to this matter, so maybe not a big issue for most, or many are not making use of the metadata or the R1?
