How to Record Orthometric Heights in Collector v18.1.0 (Aurora) with Your Eos Arrow GNSS Receiver

There is big news in mobile data collection for GIS field operations. It is now possible to record orthometric heights directly in the field without the need for post-processing. This is thanks in part to the Eos Arrow receivers, which now support Geoid models, and in part to the new Collector v18.1.0 featuring the Z-value (aka “elevation”) in the geometry. Collector v18.1.0 was formerly known as “Collector Aurora” during its beta phase, but now will be called simply “Collector” among ArcGIS professionals. The previous version of Collector is informally known as “Collector Classic”. In this article, you will learn how to use ArcGIS for Desktop or ArcGIS Pro to create a feature class that is Z-enabled, and then to configure Eos Tools Pro (on iOS or Android) for your Arrow receiver to send orthometric heights in real time to Collector. A printable PDF resource and video demonstration are also included.
