Very informative post. A colleague of mine suggested using this to pair a Garmin Monterra with an Ipad, I'm interested in any specific settings or steps folks can share with actually getting the BT pairing and getting collector to recognize it.
If anyone has the names and contact info for one or more Geneq SXBlue distributors in the U.S., I'd appreciate having those. We're window-shopping for an SXBlue II + GNSS and want to pick the distributor we do business with.
The company hasn't been forthcoming with distributor information. All they have been willing to do so far is to pick a distributor for us and have that distributor call us.
Yeah Geneq hasn't ever been very responsive to our direct inquiries.
We go through GeoMobile Innovations out of Corvallis, OR for our iSXBlue and EOS Arrow units. They are very responsive and helpful with sales and support.
Rich Ash is the sales guy we've worked with over there. He's been pretty fantastic whenever we've had questions, issues, or even when we needed to rent some units for short term gigs.
Thanks, Michael. We'll look at that.
There is a dealer in Tigard, Oregon, too, Resource Supply, LLC, Resource Supply LLC.
The Trimble R1 has been a consistently great sub-meter unit. and if your in Florida you can use the FLDOT FPRN network for correction.
Hi,
I am going to rent a GPS SX Blue 3 and use it with SBAS (EGNOS), in am in France.
Can you tell me the right accuracy in horizontal XY and especially in Z vertical.
Thanks
Cédric
There are a lot of variables that can affect the accuracy, but with SBAS you are probably looking at a best case scenario of .5 meter XY accuracy and 1.5 - 2 meter vertical accuracy
Hi,
We are a rugged tablet and bluetooth GNSS receiver rental company. Many of our rental clients use Collector on our field iPads paired to our Bad Elf GPS, Arrow 100 and 200 models, Trimble R1 and the iSXBlue II and III. Also, some clients running their own tablets (iPads, Panasonic tablets, Samsung Android tablets) with Collector and just renting the GNSS receivers they need based on their accuracy requirements. To help people with all the new GNSS receivers on the market, we conducted a field comparison test against known reference points in varying amounts of tree canopy to examine the accuracy of all the major bluetooth GNSS sub-meter receivers on the market. You can read our results here http://anatumfieldsolutions.com/?p=2071
Hope you find the results informative.

I have been researching the same issue and I have found this company that states their unit will work at sub-meter accuracy
Comparison Chart | Eos Positioning Systems they are spendy. He also stated that they work great with canopy cover. I have not tested it as of yet. I also just found this unit as well and they are working with ESRI and the Collector app Blog - Bad Elf
Did anybody used U-blox 'NEO-M8P' RTK with Arc collector?
