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.
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … okup-guide
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.
