Geode Connect2.5.3 - App Store

GEODE CONNECT is a configuration and communication utility for the GEODE GNSS RECEIVER. It provides the ability to establish communications to the Geode Real-Time Sub-meter GPS/GNSS Receiver, change receiver settings, and displays position, altitude, estimated horizontal error, differential status fix info, speed, heading, satellites in fix and PDOP. Using the Configure Receiver settings menu, select SBAS, Atlas(R) L-Band, or NTRIP-delivered RTK Float corrections for selectable accuracy to fit your job. The Skyplot screen shows satellites in use for the various supported constellations and their distribution in the sky. A terminal screen is included to allow users a “deep dive” into the actual data output from the receiver, and direct command access. The Receiver Configuration menu provides the ability to control a wide range of receiver settings to suit your work environment.

REAL-TIME SCALABLE ACCURACY GNSS RECEIVER
Looking for a simple yet precise GNSS solution at an affordable price? With the Geode, you can easily collect real-time, sub-meter, sub-foot or decimeter accurate GNSS data without the huge price tag or complexity of other precision receivers. Designed with versatility in mind, the Geode works with a wide range of devices to fit your needs exactly, and is especially useful for bring-your-own-device workplaces. Take the Geode with you mounted on a pole, in a pack, or held in your hand to collect real-time precise GNSS data in harsh environments, using almost any handheld device.
