At the beginning of the year I went through the workflow of setting up Field Maps and Mobile Manager with a Trimble R2. While not as clean of a solution as having GNSS built into the app like Collector, it did work. Since Collector is still available, and less of a hassle, I've still been using that.
I wanted to do some more testing with Field Maps today, and Field Maps no longer appears to be receiving corrected locations from Mobile Manager. I have corrections set up in Mobile Manager and a location profile set up in Field Maps. When I open Mobile Manager, it shows my status as RTK correction with 0.23 ft accuracy. When I open Field Maps, it shows my status as Differential GPS with 1.4 ft accuracy. Field Maps is not receiving the altitude data from Mobile Manager either, so I assume there is a larger issue going on here.
If I use Collector to connect directly to the Trimble R2, the NTRIP corrections work perfectly.

Solved! Go to Solution.
We're facing a similar situation with Field Maps just recording ellipsoidal heights. It takes us a fair amount of vertical projection work to get it into Navd88 elevations in US Feet. It would be super nice if we could get both a Navd88 and ellipsoidal values recorded in the table on the fly with the gnss fields. I guess sometimes flexibility is equal to more work, but I've used other data collector software which can do this. I really do like how Field Maps can write directly to our Enterprise goedatabase though. I just wish it could be an Ntrip client and also record Navd88 elevations with the ellipsoidal as well.
Here is a video showing how it can be supported https://mediaspace.esri.com/media/t/1_bpmb8l3u/244548682
Thank you, Morgan! I'll give this a try.
