Geode Connect vs Soil Color Pro

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. 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.

Soil Color Pro estimates soil color from an iPhone or iPad camera. Open Live and keep soil inside the fixed center target. The target always matches the pixels being averaged, and the closest color name and swatch appear beside it. With Pro, Auto Reference can recognize a neutral gray card, white paper, or yellow note elsewhere in the frame, mark the detected patch, and use it to correct the live reading. Capture or choose a photo with Pro when you want a documented reading. Soil Color Pro averages the circular target, rejects clipped highlights and deep shadows, trims luminance extremes, and reduces color outliers. Move the target anywhere in the photo to update the averaged swatch, color name, field notation, confidence, and nearby named colors. Designed for real field work: • A fixed, visible center target that matches the sampled pixels • Pro automatic white-balance reference detection with an on-screen marker • Clear color swatches and names • Robust mid-tone sampling instead of one center pixel • Pro gray card, white paper, or yellow note calibration • GPS pins and copied field notes • CSV, Excel, and Google Earth KMZ export with captured photos Your first Live preview session is free for up to five minutes. The preview ends when you leave Live or put the app in the background. Continued Live scanning, automatic reference calibration, Capture, photo analysis, nearby swatches, pins, and exports require Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly, or Lifetime Access. Eligible new yearly subscribers receive a 7-day free trial, followed by an auto-renewing subscription at the price displayed before purchase.
