Hello,

Please, share your experience of using Bad Elf DGPS Surveyor with Collector.

Are those devices reliable?

Is integration with Collector smooth?

What is real DGPS accuracy?

Thanks!

Our group purchased and used a Bad Elf Surveyor on a project earlier this year. The battery life is amazing, the Bluetooth pairing (at least on iOS) is a breeze and configuring Collector to use this signal in lieu of the on-board GNSS receiver was a piece of cake. Collector reported positional accuracy of up to 2.7 ft. in a parking lot on a sunny, cloud-free day.

If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me directly.

Thanks Josh,

Is it reliable?

Did you experienced hardware failures requiring technician attention?

Thanks!

It was very reliable - we just turned it on, paired over Bluetooth and went to work. We had zero issues after continuous usage over a month's worth of regular usage.
