Idea:
Add Location Profiles as a configuration parameter in Survey123
The Problem:
You need to apply a datum transformation in Survey123 (perhaps, to utilize an RTK network) but you cannot configure the Location Profile in Survey123.
Location Profiles can currently be configured in ArcGIS Field maps to apply datum shifts, but this functionality has not been extended to the Survey123 app.
The Current Work-around:
For EOS receivers, a datum shift needs to calculated and applied outside of Survey123 in the EOS GNSS app.
A point collected in Field Maps using the desired Location Profile and a second point collected using the 'Default' settings can be used to calculate a datum shift in ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap. This shift can then be input into the EOS GNSS app, which will apply the datum transformation prior to logging the location in Survey123.
Thus, collecting high-accuracy location information in Survey123 is possible using the EOS work-around to apply a datum transformation.
Solution:
The current work-around is complex and involves several steps and four different types of software.
This workflow could be greatly simplified if a parameter to configure a Location Profile could be added in Survey123 for Users needing a datum transformation for locations collected in Survey123.
