Sparkfun RTK and iOS support with SWmaps

After seeing products with centimeter level accuracy like SparkFun RTK Facet, i have a douct about compatibility with iOS trough Bluetooth. The product that I am talking about is :

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/19984

In this page, Sparkfun specify a compatibility with iOS:

However in the Hookup guide says that the current compatibility is only available with Android.

Supposing that i need to use with iOS device through Bluetooth…Could be possible?

Is a mistake, a not updated document or could be that compatibility with iOS requires to be trough wired USB and not with Bluetooth?

has anyone try it?

Yes; switch from SPP mode to BLE https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_ … #apple-ios and grab SW Maps from the app store

The link that I sent is the most current version of the manual/hookup guide, poke around to explore the features

i am using the RTK surveyor kit but when i connect my Main Menu doesn’t have a menu item for blutooth, so i can’t select BLE as the instructions show.

Do i need to update the firmware?

Or is that option not available on my product?

Go to this menu https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_ … nu_system/ - what does it say for bluetooth?

You can update firmware by following the instructions here https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_ … re_update/

I reloaded the firmware update this morning and i now have the blutooth menu item and selected BLE for my iphone.

Hi,

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

I hope this helps,
