Mostly Correct - Android Tablet connected to TORCH with Bluetooth (not BLE), and the Tablet WiFi connects to iPhone Personal Hotspot for internet.
For testing purposes, you can change FIX type to DGPS

I was able to get in contact with one of the APGLOS guys, and got a copy of the manual since the links in the app do not work. They said a new manual and updated links are coming… eventually - here’s the old manual if it helps. Thanks again for all your help.

When you sending me those ties to shift your stuff 
Hopefully next week, I think I have learned enough TORCH settings and SW MAP skills to at least collect points of the found pins. It’s a combination of weather and other projects … for sure within 2 weeks now that I have implemented some of things you have shared. THANKS!!!
I did my first field testing with Torch at the farm yesterday (March 29, 2025). Had to finish well pad before drilling truck could put in my water well, and had to fix a culvert, and had to repair a access trail, and had to install a new culvert in a different road… never ending… anyway, I hope to get both the CAPPED pins, and a few uncapped iron rods in the next week or two. My first field test with Torch ran into a few bumps as I decided to enable the HAS 6 corrections *ERROR don’t do that!! And all day the HAS6 competed with PointPerfect and I couldn’t recall the IP Addr to try to use iPhone and webconfig to remove the setting… I have now saved it into my Safari favorites and tested access, it works. And I am caving and starting my Android research (Leaning towards $99 TCL 10.1" 5G tablet that is unlocked. I don’t need to put in a CIM but I could if I wanted to in the future… so … another expense, but probably worth the heart ache the iPhone keeps giving me!!!
I’d probably get a windows tablet and I can give you access to field genius
Thanks,
I don’t know anything about Field Genius, how does it compare to SW Maps, or APGLOS on iPhone or Android?
Are there a lot of Windows Mapping tools that work with the RTK Torch?
I don’t do a lot of Surveying so if Field Genius is a fantastic app for Surveyors, but a farmer measuring and marking borders, laying out fence lines, logging roads etc, finds it too complicated I will be totally lost without a GPS to get me out of the woods 
HA!!!
I’m not against a Windows Tablet, a friend has once and says it’s great as a laptop replacement when traveling due to access to all the Windows style apps, I just have no idea on the apps for my use case of “Simple but accurate” surveying for a farmer
Thanks
