Work with ESRI ArcGIS Mobile Apps (iOS) | Support | Juniper Systems

Your Spire or Geode GNSS receiver will work with ESRI ArcGIS mobile apps.

To use an ESRI ArcGIS Mobile App with Spire or Geode,

Pair the Spire or Geode to your iOS device.
(Optional) Connect Network RTK.
Connect the Spire or Geode to ArcGIS Field Maps or ArcGIS Survey123.

When using NTRIP/RTK, you will leave the Juniper Connect window open while you use the ESRI ArcGIS mobile app.

Pair the Spire or Geode

Pair your Spire or Geode to your iOS device using the Bluetooth settings.

CAUTION: Do not use two ESRI apps while using Juniper Connect as an NTRIP/RTK provider.

While the Juniper receiver's Bluetooth feature is capable of supporting two iOS device EA Session connections at the same time, running two ESRI apps at the same time you are using Juniper Connect as an NTRIP/RTK provider will prevent the Juniper Connect session and NTRIP/RTK Client from functioning properly. (The ESRI apps will consume both EA Session connections.)

If you will use NTRIP/RTK continue with the Connect for NTRIP/RTK instructions. If you will not use NTRIP/RTK, skip to Connect to Geode in Field Maps or Connect to Spire or Geode in Survey123.

Connect Network RTK

Juniper Connect paired with a Spire or Geode can obtain NTRIP/RTK GNSS receiver metadata and pass it to ESRI ArcGIS mobile apps, such as ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Survey123. To use network RTK correction service with your Spire or Geode and an ESRI ArcGIS mobile app, you will start the network RTK correction service from Juniper Connect, leave the Juniper Connect app running, and then connect the Spire or Geode as the location provider for Field Maps or Survey123.

With your Spire or Geode paired to your device (see Pair the Spire or Geode above), choose one of the following:

Juniper Connect, Juniper RTK—From the top of the Home screen, select Juniper RTK as the RTK provider. Tap the green triangle. See Juniper Connect User Manual, 12.3 Connect to Juniper RTK.
Juniper Connect, other RTK providers—From Settings > RTK/NTRIP profiles, enter the information supplied by your network RTK service provider. For details see Juniper Connect User Manual, 11.1 Add a Network RTK Provider.
Geode Connect—From More > Configure > NTRIP/RTK, enter the information supplied by your network RTK service provider. For more details see the GNS3 User Manual, 5.5.3 Receiver Configuration, Configure NTRIP/RTK on page 82.

Keep Juniper Connect open while you connect to the Spire or Geode and use your ESRI ArcGIS app.
