VKLink Bluetooth GPS
An external multi-frequency GNSS receiver for compatible Android devices.
The VKLink Bluetooth GPS combines a compact vehicle-mounted receiver with the same multi-frequency antenna used by the VKLink Additional Reference Point. It works with any Android app that supports an external Bluetooth GPS, including VKLink Field Mapper.
Features
- External GNSS position source for any Android app that supports Bluetooth GPS.
- L1, L2 and L5 capable external antenna.
- Bluetooth connection without a serial cable to the tablet or phone.
- NTRIP correction support when provided by the connected Android app.
- Compact enclosure suited to installation in a vehicle or machine.
- Diagnostics available through compatible applications, including Field Mapper.
Works beyond Field Mapper
Use it with any Android application that supports an external Bluetooth GPS. Field Mapper also recognises verified VKLink receivers without requiring its universal Bluetooth receiver unlock.
Antenna where it belongs
The external antenna can be mounted with a clear view of the sky while the Android display remains in a practical position for the operator.
