Description
Reach RX is a network-rover
Reach RX uses the Bluetooth LE connection to your phone/tablet to receive a feed from the Internet, via an NTRIP[?] caster, so you’ll need some NTRIP credentials.
But don’t worry if you don’t have NTRIP credentials at the moment, because you could
- A) use a Reach RS2+ as your base-station, employing Emlid’s easy NTRIP casterfor the task; or
- B) pick up some NTRIP credentials from a local, government, or large-network NTRIP provider [extensive list].
- C) and operate their own NTRIP caster, e.g. using source code from GitHub.] (For advanced users).
Accomplish your basic surveying goals with the ReachView 3 app
Import and export points from ReachView 3 in various formats, such as Shapefile, DXF, and CSV.
Whether you collect, then export the points; or import, then stake-out the points; or just do everything you need within ReachView, you are assured of a simple process with universal options for moving your data in and out.
You could use your favorite third-party surveying/GIS app as well. There are techniques to make your device get its location from Reach RX, which allows any app to work with the accuracy of Reach RX. Some third-party apps will be able to work directly with Reach RX as well.
