The Skadi Tilt Compensation feature is incredibly beneficial, and for lack of a better term, is just really cool. Without tilt compensation, we always had to keep the pole level and keep an eye on the bubble to ensure the point collected was accurate. With the new tilt compensation feature, this is no longer the case. Not only is this feature great from an ease-of-use standpoint, but in some situations, it makes our work environment much safer.

What we had before were inaccurate locations and inconsistent photos and attributes. Now everything is standardized and accurate.
Tyler BraggGIS Coordinator, City of Oak Hill Sanitary Board / City of Oak Hill, West Virginia, United States
It’s been a couple of months since we received the Skadi receivers and it’s going really well. The fact that you can use it with any software and there’s not much you need to do to use it, that was the real thing that attracted me. It’s really flexible and really simple. So I can give the units to the people I’ve been training and say, ‘OK, off you go!’
Gavin BrooksbankSenior Engineer, Sheffield City Council / Sheffield, United Kingdom
It’s one thing to put points into a GIS. But you don’t want to have to go out and map them again. That’s where having the Arrow Gold+ is so helpful. It brings the confidence to know that our valves are now very accurate.
Nathan WardCEO, Cassatt Water / Cassatt, South Carolina, United States
With corrections received directly from Galileo HAS satellites, the Skadi Gold can determine position in the forest with an accuracy of a few decimeters. For stem mapping, boundary staking, and precision forestry tasks, this level of accuracy is sufficient.
Dr. Kornél CzimberProfessor, Institute of Geomatics and Civil Engineering, Faculty of Forestry, University of Sopron / Sopron, Hungary, European Union
There aren’t any RTK networks in Antarctica. That sent us looking for the Arrow Gold+ and Galileo HAS corrections. When we found these, we realized we had a possible solution.
Kevin WilcoxResearch Scientist, Ocean Mapping Group / Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
You can see the difference between what they had in 2013 and what we have now. The Arrow Gold+ really narrowed things in. Nothing from previous records compares.
Kyle HobbsCollections System Foreman, City of Oak Hill Sanitary Board / City of Oak Hill, West Virginia, United States
The reliability and precision of Eos GNSS receivers have been essential for collecting dependable data in challenging terrain.
Ella VoorheesCartographic Technician, Smokies Life / Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, United States
Our Arrow Gold and Skadi units have been exceptional investments that continue to provide results that cannot be found with any other GNSS receiver.
David JohnsonGIS Analyst, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative / Arizona, United States
At EMWD, safety is always our top priority. With this technology, our crews can capture asset data from a safe distance, such as using a laser instead of working close to a trench. The smart handle allows our technicians to map valves in intersections without initiating traffic control, keeping both our team and the public safe while maintaining efficiency.
Andrea RegaladoEnterprise GIS Manager, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) / Perris, California, United States
The precision with the Arrow Gold+ and Galileo HAS was incredible. I will use one for every project I ever do, ever.
Charles LehnenEcologist, University of Southern California / California, United States
We purchased our units from 4D Global, and the support from Peter Terrett has be amazing. His knowledge of the product, its capabilities, and his capacity to supply additional units/ items at short notice is outstanding. We have been really impressed with the Arrow 100® units.
Patrick BurkePrincipal Geospatial (Lead), Everick Heritage Pty Ltd / Australia
A lot of times, especially now, we are getting a lot of clients that are asking us for our accuracy. They actually want to see that our accuracy is what we say it is. So with the Arrow GNSS receivers, we’re able to take a deeper dive into our GNSS and find out what our accuracy for these different points were.
Scott DenhamWetlands & Permitting Manager, Environmental Solutions & Innovations, Inc. / USA
We have our own in-house surveying department and recently just started utilizing the Eos Arrow receivers coupled with drones and high definition scanners and other technology to help bolster our survey and field data collection.
David GigliottiProject Manager, The DDS Companies / New York
For ground control points, we use the Arrow Gold+ linked with ArcGIS Field Maps for super high-resolution position and elevation data.
Dr. Kyle EmeryAssistant Researcher, Marine Science Institute, University of California-Santa Barbara / Santa Barbara, California, United States
For us, being a remote northern community where GPS satellites are a bit less visible, the fact that the Arrow 100® supports a constellation like GLONASS was a huge improvement.
Michael MorganWoodlands Operations Supervisor, Tolko Industries / Alberta, Canada
From the moment we first spoke with the Canadian staff from Eos, we received a personalized relationship. We understood from then on, that Eos would be our partner in terms of satellite positioning systems. Their Arrow GNSS solutions fully covered the needs we had, and they met our expectations.
Ronald Stith LópezTechnical Cadastral Coordinator, ConHydra / Peru
I think the reasons why the Arrow GNSS receivers were preferred by our inspectors over other hardware solutions were that the Arrow receivers were easy to configure, simple to deploy, lightweight, rugged and above all else, accurate.
Zachary PetixVice President of Geospatial Solutions, Palmetto Engineering & Consulting / South Carolina
We’re getting our operations folks what they need in seven to ten days to have confidence in what we’re doing in GIS.
Randy WinstonGIS Project Manager, Indiana American Water / Indiana
The Esri software is totally in tune with the hardware, for extra accuracy.
Andy HopkinsGIS and Positioning Technical Consultant, Northumbrian Water / England
Skadi Tilt Compensation and the Skadi Smart Handle have greatly improved our ability to accurately, safely, and quickly collect points and lines in areas that would have been impossible before. For example, sometimes I have a piece of equipment inside a fence that cannot be accessed, or there’s an asset under an overhang. This might have been impossible to map before. But now, if it’s within a few feet, I can reach a range pole over the asset and accurately locate it with Skadi Tilt Compensation. If it is further away, I can use the Skadi Smart Handle.
David JohnsonGIS Analyst, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative / Sierra Vista, Arizona, United States
For the first time since the winter, our technicians used the tool that had been installed (iPad® + GNSS). They were charmed and the tool did everything we expected. They saved a lot of research time. I wanted to thank you as you have made a great contribution to the success of this tool.
Line RenaudOfficer, Management of Technical Documentation, Quebec International Airport / Quebec, Canada
Because the cost and effort involved was fairly minimal, it just made a lot more sense to go ahead and set up our own base station. We also thought there could be other groups in the city that would use this system.
Theresa LancyWater Distribution Supervisor, City of Santa Barbara / California
And now I felt like we finally had the last piece to our puzzle. The days of waiting 30 seconds to get a point were over. Points now come as fast as you can tap the buttons.
Travis AndersonDistrict Engineer, Le-Ax Water District / Athens, Ohio
I’ve worked with Eos support a few times on troubleshooting issues and they’ve always been extremely helpful. The response time to requests, and the time to finding a resolution has consistently blown me away. I think all companies could take a leaf from your book!
Erica TefftWatershed GIS Coordinator, Department of Conservation & Recreation / Massachusetts
Installing each meter used to cost us approximately $211.91 in labor and fuel. With high-accuracy mobile GIS, the cost per meter went down to $111.19.
Kenny RatliffGIS Manager, Oldham County Water District / La Grange, Kentucky
The level of accuracy—knowing you’re within a meter of the point you recorded before—gives you a higher degree of confidence. Five meters would skew our results quite seriously. The accuracy eliminates a level of uncertainty in our monitoring.
Dr. Patrick CrushellDirector, Wetland Surveys Ireland / Ireland
I spoke with one for your techs on the phone, and he fixed me up in record time. Merci beaucoup, good service!
Captain Mike ArmstrongChairman, Fraser River Pilots / Vancouver, Canada
Having a backpack & Bluetooth® GNSS receiver that can just tap into your device is really important. And being an ethical company we just wanted to get that submeter accuracy.
Andy HopkinsGIS and Positioning Technical Consultant, Northumbrian Water / Durham, England
Most of the time they got into the 2-centimeter range. That’s nearly perfect for us. Without this RTK network, you couldn’t really guarantee better than twelve feet. Many assets moved 50-100 feet. That’s a big difference, when you look at a road and want to know on which side of the road the pole is located.
Kurt TowlerGIS Supervisor, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Co-operative / Wilcox, Arizona
The hardware savings are enormous with the new GPS kit at less than $10,000, compared to the old kit, which was over $70,000. But the ongoing reduction of labor costs is even more valuable over time.
Lance FugateProgram Manager, Enmapp / Calgary, Canada
If our RTK connection is lost, the Arrow Gold® maintains our RTK corrections thanks to the SafeRTK® feature.
Ronald Stith LópezTechnical Cadastral Coordinator, ConHydra / Peru
I think it’s great that the Arrow 100® achieves such great accuracy results in the forest or under other difficult conditions.
Theresa MaierMobile GIS & GNSS Consultant , GI GeoInformatik / Germany
Plant Records Manager National Tropical Botanical Gardens Hawaii
– You could potentially have two plants that look very similar right next to each other, and if they both lose their physical identification tags, the next generation of scientists at the gardens won’t necessarily know that Plant A came from Population A. But if you have a high-accuracy GPS point, you can know with 100% certainty. And that helps fight in our mission to improve the genetic diversity for future generations.Kevin HouckPlant Records Manager, National Tropical Botanical Gardens / Hawaii
The Arrow Gold+ is already paying off. We can answer engineering and design requests with confidence.
Kyle HobbsCollections System Foreman, City of Oak Hill Sanitary Board / City of Oak Hill, West Virginia, United States
We completely eliminated any kind of data transport that we had when checking in files. And now we can transfer the as-builts instantly.
