Hi Andy, I’ve used the old legacy bad elf product, but none of their new products. It was super easy to use, no fuss, but accuracy wasn’t very good. Currently we are using a Trimble DA2, with a catalyst subscription. You basically pay
based on accuracy needed and how many hours you want to collect. It works perfect for our needs, however it can be a little finicky with Field Maps. Once connected it works fine, but sometimes you need to re-connect/reboot a few times to get the connection.
You are more than welcome to borrow ours to test drive it. The other solution we use is 2 Trimble R2’s. They are expensive and can be finicky as well.

Hi all,
We are looking for a Bluetooth solution to improve GPS accuracy on iOS devices. Ideally we are looking to strike a balance between portability, ease of operation and accuracy (yes,
I understand this is a “choose any two” problem). We have a need for both survey grade (cm) and mapping grade (+/- 1 m) devices.
If you have personal experience with anything currently on the market, I’d appreciate being in touch. Thanks!
(Vendors are welcome to contact me off-list.)
Andy
