GNSS Master (Android)

GNSS Master enables any Android app using GPS to access RoboDot's high-accuracy positioning. Android apps that do not support external GNSS natively but can work with GNSS Master include:

• ArcGIS Field Maps

• Google Maps

• Apglos

• Google Earth

• Avenza Maps

• KML/GPX tracking apps

• Matidor

• Most navigation and mapping apps using Android location services

GNSS Master Setup

GNSS Master Main Page

1. Under Status

   • Turn on Mock Location slider

2. Under Connections, GNSS, select and connect the preferred an input source:

   • Serial

     • 115200 baud

   • TCP

     • Use the IP on RoboDot screen, Port 1000

   • BLE

3. Under Connections, Corrections, configure and connect the correction source:

   • Typically an internet based VRS

In this configuration, the RoboDot outputs GPS data to the Android tablet, effectively using the tablet as a relay for data communication. The tablet is responsible for sending RTK corrections back to the RoboDot, functioning as a rover. Leveraging its internet connection, the tablet connects to the VRS (Virtual Reference Station) to acquire the necessary corrections, ensuring high accuracy in positioning. This setup allows the RoboDot to operate without requiring its own direct internet connection, as all data transmission and correction management are handled through the tablet.
