Juniper Geode and Spike Issues

[RonaldHaug]

Hi Mapper 7775,

I admire you using both in the field. I have used the juniper geode bluetooth and that works pretty well with both Avenza, Field Maps and Two Trails.

I bet your use of both Spike and Juniper on bluetooth is confusing the tablet.

What happens when you plug one of them in with a cable? That may be a good workaround. I remember the juniper has a hard wire connection.

Hi Mapper 7775,

We have new geode3's and you can connect them to the tablet using a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Here is a link to the User Manual.

Search for "usb" Pages 113-114

Again, try that, maybe...

Let me know how that works.

"Common issues with Juniper Geode and Spike include connectivity problems like Bluetooth drops, GPS signal inconsistencies, and pairing difficulties. To fix these, try ensuring the Geode is charged and in pairing mode, avoid app conflicts by closing unnecessary apps, and ensure enough time for the Geode to establish a satellite fix. For better reliability, ensure your firmware and apps (e.g., ArcGIS Field Maps, Survey123) are updated". see more
