GPS-19984 cannot be paired via bluetooth with iOS devices

Wireless & IoT Bluetooth

Hello,

We have a problem with the SparkFun RTK Facet GPS, for the radios it was updated since it did not have these options and now there is no connection via Bluetooth with iOS devices; I understand that they are compatible with this operating system, however, it cannot even be found when searching for GPS from the iPhone or iPad.

I thought it was due to the Bluetooth mode so I tried SPP and BLE but no success.

I would like you to help me with this problem if it is due to some configuration.

The hookup guide https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … okup-guide mentions that Android is currently supported, iOS support is planned

The easiest workaround is to just go get a $50 Android ‘go’ phone and just use it to pass the data to the iOS device…GPS, bluetooth, wifi, etc all work even without using a plan/data :smiley:

Hi,

There is now more detail in the RTK Manual about how to use SWMaps on iOS:

I hope this helps,
