SW Maps GIS, a free mapping application, integrates real-time GNSS data for precise field collection across surveying, agriculture, and environmental projects. When paired with high-precision systems, it enables reliable data collection that improves decision-making and resource allocation.
SW Maps for iOS has streamlined the process of integrating with high-precision GNSS devices by exclusively supporting Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections to RoboDot.
Enable RoboDot Bluetooth in Web UI settings
In SW Maps menu, select Bluetooth GNSS
Select the Touch_### and connect to device as "GENERIC NMEA"
Click NTRIP Client to configure a correction service for high accuracy
Do not set up RoboDot to connect to a VRS, the app proviedes the corrections
In this configuration, the RoboDot (acting as a rover) connects to the iOS device using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The iOS device, which generally has internet connectivity, then connects to the Virtual Reference Station (VRS) to receive RTK corrections. These corrections are subsequently relayed back to RoboDot, enabling it to achieve precise positioning accurate enough for applications that demand higher location precision.
