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® 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.

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.
