Hello, I am just after some recommendations for GNSS receivers with RTK capability. We are considering purchasing a Carlson BRx7, but I have noticed it requires a separate application (Carlson Layout) to enable mock location, while our previous unit (Septentrio Altus NR3) was able to be selectable as a receiver directly.
Does anyone have any experience with other GNSS receivers that work well in ArcGIS Field Maps for ~1cm level accuracy field collection, or with the Carlson BRx7 directly?
If you want to get a device with built-in LTE/5G note that the switch-off of 3g in some places has made things complicated if the manufacturer has not pushed an update to disable 2g/3g fallback.
you could also consider the General Laser GLRM as an option. It is a compact RTK GNSS receiver that connects via Bluetooth and can be used directly with ArcGIS Field Maps workflows.
It supports NTRIP corrections for centimeter-level positioning and avoids the need for a separate survey controller, making it suitable for mobile GIS data collection.
It may be worth comparing it with the Carlson BRx7 and Septentrio receivers, especially regarding receiver connection, correction services, and GNSS metadata support.
