Emerald Observatory for iPad vs goTenna Pro+

Emerald Observatory displays a wealth of astronomical information all on one screen, in a unique but understandable format.

If you are having any trouble with the application whatsoever, please see our FAQ on the support page listed below and then contact us through that page if your problem is not resolved. We take pride in responding promptly to all support email requests but we can't fix it if you don't report it (and we have no way to respond to Customer Reviews on the App Store). (NTP requires Internet access. Like all apps Emerald Observatory can not change the device's internal clock.)

The all new goTenna Pro+ app has been fully rebuilt and redesigned for improved stability and usability. Its new and intuitive user interface offers tactical operators situational awareness in any environment.

Users can download the goTenna Pro+ app to any iOS device, pair with a goTenna Pro or goTenna Pro X series mesh radio, and then use the mobile device to communicate critical information like near real-time locations, share map markings, and send text messages while 100% off-grid. goTenna Pro X series mesh radios have a 5W, tunable UHF/VHF output that can transmit critical data from your iOS device and also automatically act as relays that securely and anonymously "hop" messages across up to multiple devices to extend range. Getting started is simple: Download the app Log into the goTenna Pro Management Portal to automatically enable your appropriate frequency configurations - you may also provision while offline by manually entering your frequency sets. Follow the app instructions to pair with your goTenna Pro via Bluetooth Low-Energy.
