Hello Field Maps Users,
I've recently started testing Field Maps in preparation to migrate our fleet of Trimble R2's and iPads at the end of this year. Previously in Collector, NTRIP connections could be set up natively inside the application and it worked great for us. With Field Maps, it requires downloading a third party application called Trimble Mobile Manager which opens within Field Maps automatically once set up.
The issue I've been running into is the consistency of external location accuracy between the two applications. In Collector, the fix type is consistently RTK Float with a correction age of 1-3 seconds. In Field Maps, the fix type jumps around between RTK Float and then back to Differential with correction ages routinely reaching 20 seconds or more. The NTRIP and profile setup between the applications is identical.
Has anyone else experienced these issues? It doesn't add up that the same connections and hardware work correctly in Collector but not in Field Maps.
