GPS Toolbar in Arcgis Pro?

UlrichHeimes — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:22:01 GMT

Can someone tell me where I can find the GPS Toolbar in Arcgis Pro?

I can't find any option for real time GPS in Arcgis Pro.

Thanks for any help

Have a look ... Tools that are not available in ArcGIS Pro—Appendices | ArcGIS for Desktop

But there are gps tools

An overview of the From GPS toolset—Conversion toolbox | ArcGIS for Desktop

but if you search "gps toolbar" only arcmap 10.3.1 shows. so I am not sure if this is what you want... or I can't find it either.

Hi Dan,

thanks for your help. I can't understand why I do not get the freedom to work with GPS in any application I like.

I would like a better implementation of GPS in ArcGIS not only in collector. Maybe I missed something.

Best regards

Uli

I can't put my hands on the ArcGIS Pro 1.2 update notes.

Don't forget ArcGIS Pro

is free,
it is designed to work WITH ArcMap,
it is a work in progress,
it has capabilities that ArcMap doesn't
and it is free (or did I say that already)

Put in suggestion

I think an implementation of real time GPS in a GIS software should be there, In particular if you want to work in the field with external GPS devices and tablets with a larger screen. So if that comes in ArcGIS Pro 1.2 update, fine.

Just use arcmap in the field...you will have it loaded on the same machine anyway

ArcGIS Pro works better with ArcGIS online and the UI (scale) is far better than ArGIS Desktop.
