TCP IP on iOS®: How to Use Multiple Esri Mobile Apps Concurrently with your Arrow GNSS Receiver on iOS
Technical guide for iOS and Esri users
In this article, you will learn how to consume the location data of your Arrow Series® GNSS receiver concurrently with multiple Esri ArcGIS mobile apps, on any iOS* device. This is achieved by using the new built-in TCP server feature of Eos Tools Pro. With this feature, Esri mobile data-collection apps (e.g., ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Field Maps, along with ArcGIS Survey123 and ArcGIS QuickCapture) can operate at the same time, on the same device, using location data from the same single Arrow GNSS receiver.
*Similar documentation will be available soon for Android.
Michael Cousins Fearlessly Rides a “New Wave” of Geospatial Technology
Michael Cousins, GISP, GIS Practice Leader at OHM Advisors, has been an active figure in several virtual GIS conferences this past year. In every presentation, his expertise and passion are evident.
Mike sat down with Eos to discuss how he uses products such as the Arrow Gold GNSS receiver, Eos Locate, and his company’s innovative “Smart Bike” with apps such as ArcGIS Collector and ArcGIS QuickCapture for a variety of GIS projects.

Collect: Ditch outdated paper-based workflows
Webinar on demand, originally aired October 27, 2020
From Esri: “In this webinar, we will dive into how to collect data with our easy-to-use apps to increase efficiency, improve data accuracy, and reduce or eliminate the need for paper forms. We will outline how data captured with each of the data collection apps feeds directly into the ArcGIS platform so everyone—in the field and the office—works from the same accurate data. Learn how your organization can be empowered to collect data from anywhere with minimal training, build powerful digital surveys, and analyze results to make better decisions.”
