Hi Seth, Following are a few more considerations when looking at ROI's and work efficiencies of low cost, less accurate receivers vs full gnss (multi-constellation) bluetooth enabled receivers that work with Collector and just about any device. Take a look at Eos Arrow GNSS receivers; especially the Arrow 100 or maybe the Lite. While it costs more than a Bad Elf and other low end receivers the total cost of ownership can be higher for cheap receivers. For example, if you want sub-meter accuracy, the BadElf can't deliver that in most cases, and if you can accept 1.25m from the Bad Elf by waiting 4 minutes, how much productivity is lost compared to 15 sec occupation time (or less) using a more accurate receiver like the Arrow 100? The cost of labor due to slower performance from the cheap receiver quickly becomes more expensive than the higher capital cost of a better performing receiver. And, Arrows leverage investments already made in front end hardware, i.e. tablets/smartphones and software/apps, not to mention working seamlessly with Collector.

Disclosure time here...I"m an Eos Arrow reseller but we regularly evaluate other brand receivers so we understand and can discuss differences in an informed manner. That said, take a look at Arrow 100 for sub-foot positioning using WAAS (in good sky) and on RTK networks (decimeter). The Arrow 200 and Gold are both centimeter solutions on network and sub-foot with WAAS. There are many good success stories with Arrow/Collector workflow in various industries and the ROI is excellent...all OS compatible...it's a BYOD (bring your own device) solution with a low cost of implementation. Paul Haakma...hopefully there's an Eos reseller coming to NZ soon! thanks! Davis

It is consuming Eos Arrow GNSS metadata now...presumably it's doing the same with other major brand receivers.

We have many clients using Eos Arrow 200's and iPads on RTK networks...getting centimeter accuracy without issues. And there's a NTRIP client from Eos that's very easy to use, too.
