Dear all,
I don't want anyone to struggle for hours like I did, so I'd like to share some tips with you. If you're using Trimble Catalyst with your ArcGIS Field Maps and are repeatedly trying to "Select a device to connect" and "loose connection to DA2" after the initial setup for your DA2 with ArcGIS Field Maps, here's what you need to know:
Key Points:
Initial Setup:
Automatic Connection:
High-Accuracy GPS Collection:
Troubleshooting Tips:
Why This Matters:
The design is user-friendly because it allows you to focus solely on using ArcGIS Field Maps. As long as your DA2 is powered on, it will automatically be used as your provider for your survey location.
By following these tips, you can ensure a stable and high-accuracy GPS connection with your Trimble Catalyst DA2 while using ArcGIS Field Maps.
I have been troubleshooting this for hours trying to clear Android app data and caches, and try to get TMM Home page to have DA2 shown connected and using ArcGIS Field Maps at the same time with 0 lucks. However, I am glad that I finally figured out in the end...and hope some of you are benefited by this post!
