GNSS Status

Original review: I originally downloaded the app in July as we were getting ready to purchase a Trimble GPS . The app's UI was simple to navigate and much more user friendly (it was a five star app). Then after a couple months, we finely got our GPS device and the app's UI has changed. It is not as intuitative anymore. Update: I do like that it saves the last GPS I connected to so I don't have to hit "connect" everytime I turn it on. There are definitely pros and cons. I just preferred the old app UI. Otherwise, the updates may be better than I initially though.

The free app works very well. I am using a Trimble R1 and iPhone. If this app had position averaging, it would be five star plus.

Ever since the update I have been having trouble connecting to the unit on many occasions... had a black screen when I first downloaded and had to uninstall and reinstall the app.

Connected to a Trimble R1 GNSS model 99133. This app is too basic. And now it glitches. Doesn't give detail status anymore. Freezes up. I've searched for a better app to Bluetooth to the receiver but have yet to find one. What I need is basic, just the ability to see the coordinates in decimal form & the ability to input coordinates & locate that waypoint. All with sub-meter accuracy provided by the R1 receiver.

"GNSS Status" app is advertised to override iOS Core Location services so that any iOS app can use a R1 or R2. It just does not work. The "GNSS Status" app can be displaying 38cm accuracy using SBAS yet when you switch to a 3rd party iOS app, the difference between a latitude / longitudes taken seconds apart can be 50 feet or more without even moving the R1? The EOS Tools Pro app just works. I can use any 3rd party iOS GPS application. You connect to an EOS Arrow series GNSS device, launch EOS Tools Pro, then launch your GPS app. What cannot Trimble do the same? Trimble's support is a black hole. Has anyone figured this out? I'd dearly love to use my R1 with my favorite iOS app.
