Problems Changing GPS Receiver in Collector

MichelleDuncan2 — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 17:42:11 GMT

I keep getting an error of "No valid locations received" (see attached image) when trying to change the GPS Receiver from the Integrated Receiver to the Trimble R1. Tried pairing with a Dell Venue Pro and an HP Steam 7 tablet. I've successfully paired the R1 using the iPhone but can't get it to work with the tablets.

Any help is much appreciated!

Michelle,

Did you download the Trimble GNSS Status Utility Application on your windows 10 device?

Yes, I'm using the GNSS app.

I didn't have any NMEA settings turned on. Now that they are on it switched to the GNSS receiver. I used the following video for reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TPC19y4HJM

Here is another good resource if anyone else is having troubles connecting Collector to an external GPS.

Here is some ESRI documentation on the NMEA sentences that Collector supports:
