Feature Request: Enhanced Rover Tracking in Emlid Flow 360

I would like to deploy Emlid RS2+/RX systems across our company, totaling eight systems. A valuable feature would be the ability to visually track the real-time location and current process of each Rover within Emlid Flow 360 or to mirror the IPhone screen. While this feature wouldn’t necessarily require additional control functionality, having a live overview of each system’s position and task would greatly aid in troubleshooting equipment issues and optimizing stakeout and survey workflows. This enhancement would improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime by providing quick insights into system activity.

What exactly are you expecting to do remotely? Have you thought about TeamViewer on the mobile devices? Easy-peasy.

Hi Michael,
I’d like to do what I posted in my thread, “While this feature wouldn’t necessarily require additional control functionality, having a live overview of each system’s position and task would greatly aid in troubleshooting equipment issues and optimizing stakeout and survey workflows.” I know this request is quite technical and complex, but sometimes simply walking through an issue and visualizing what the operator sees can be incredibly helpful.

That being said, your second point is genuinely useful. TeamViewer on a mobile device could be exactly the solution I need.

I can see why you’re a leader here, Michael. Thanks!

Andy

Absolutely. I just wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly. The main problem I see with Emlid doing this is the Apple’s privacy and security protocols and how strict they are on background processes. What they would go through for Apple to allow remote access through the app itself? I’m sure TeamViewer had quite a time and they were already in that space.

Hi Adeveny,

Welcome to our community forum!

Thank you for your request. I’ve passed it on to our development team. Once there’s any news, I’ll let you know.

Just have it transmit NMEA positions as a TCP stream to an MQTT server, where you can push it to a map.

Or, use uBlox’s Thingstream service for tracking.

Or, finally, you can just use a fleet-tracking system which will enable you to feed the NMEA streams via TCP and visualize in real-time with ease.

Hi everyone,

I agree with @geohawk. In the meantime, you can transmit NMEA messages from your GNSS equipment to a third-party device. This allows you to connect different types of hardware and software, which you can use to track your unit.
