Owner's Manual
2.7 Third-Party Applications
The Geode streams NMEA 0183, RTCM, and Crescent Raw
Binary data protocols, which makes it compatible with most
mapping, navigational, and data-collection software. It will
usually work seamlessly with the app that you are already
using. It will simply improve the precision, accuracy, and
reliability of your data.
For a list of professional GPS and GNSS data-collection
apps, visit the Juniper Systems blog at blog.junipersys.com
and search for data-collection software.
Note: When using the Geode with Android devices, some
mapping and data-collection apps do not readily indicate
which receiver they are connected to, the highly accurate
and reliable Geode GPS Receiver or the device’s own
internal, consumer-grade GPS receiver. For information
about identifying and solving this problem, see page 81.
2.8 Juniper Rugged™
Like other Juniper Systems products, the Geode is built
ultra-rugged—waterproof, dustproof, and drop proof. It is
designed to withstand harsh environments. It features IP68-
rated protection, meets or exceeds MIL-STD 810G (drop,
vibration, temperature, ingress protection), and operates
in extreme temperatures, providing reliable performance
wherever you need to collect data.
2.9 Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology
The Geode is equipped with a Class 1 Long Range Bluetooth
wireless transmitter. It has a range of approximately 100
meters or 328 feet. However, the device you are pairing with
the Geode may or may not have the same range. It may be
a good idea to test this range before relying on it heavily.
For instructions on pairing your Geode with your handheld
device or laptop, see Chapter 3: Getting Started, on page
