Hmm... That's weird you got a bounce-back on that email.  Maybe check that the spelling or copy/paste ryan@agsgis.com Yeah, I hear ya; mapping with a phone/tablet only and getting 30ft accuracy isn't great.  It works, but for a lot of mapping exercises, that level of accuracy isn't going to provide a lot of value.  You know where your assets are, but only vaguely.  You can easily and 'affordably' get into the 1-3m range with a BT device, and the use of said device really doesn't change your workflow at all.  You can also just as easily get submeter accuracy or even centimeter-grade using BT hardware with your phone/tablet.  Obviously, the price goes up as accuracy improves.  But there are rental options available for shorter-term needs, if/when those needs arise.  Just hit me up and we can discuss   ...

Hi Seth - I think switching to a mobile data collection worklfow using AGOL/Collector and your phones/iPads will make for a very streamlined and intuitive system. Combine that with a higher accuracy Bluetooth receiver and you'll be good to go!  There are several high accuracy BT GPS/GNSS devices available, but if you're looking for a more 'entry priced' option, I think a Bad Elf device is a good choice.  There are different tiers of the more entry-level Bad Elf units (e.g. Pro+, Surveyor) available, depending on the desired accuracy and price point.  None will provide submeter accuracy but can get you in the 1.25-2.5m range depending on the model. I work with high accuracy BT hardware and AGOL/Collector workflows.  If interested, I'd be happy to discuss pro/cons, prices for diff options. ryan@agsgis.com ... View more
