GPS location not available

Question

Hello,

I am a GIS tech. with the City of Homer, AK. I use field maps paired with Trimble R2 for collecting utility data.  Recently I haven't been able to acquire my GPS location when pairing opening the field map app after connecting my tablet to the R2.

I follow the procedure of establishing connection with our VPN, establishing connection with the R2 via Bluetooth, using Trimble Mobile Manager to connect to position source and obtain desired accuracy, then disconnect from positioning source, finally opening Field Maps to use the appropriate map for the required task. This routine has worked until now, where I continue to get the notice that GPS location is not available when opening Field Maps.  Any and all help is appreciated.

Hardware

* Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
* Trimble R2

Software

* Android Version 12
* Field Maps 22.3.1
* Trimble Mobile Manager 3.0.2
* Unsure of R2 Firmware

We have been having the same issue with Trimble DA2 antennas. ZhongmingAn describes the correct process for correcting the issue in Field Maps on iOS.
