Hello Emlid team, hoping the ability to use CarPlay in the flow app is in the near future. Mostly so my lazy foremen don’t have to get out of their cars to setup a rover and can just mount the rover on the bull bar when using surface stakeout driving around to check earthworks levels. Ideally Apple CarPlay for my sites but I’m sure android users would like it to.

Emlid Flow it’s not compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, but I really like the idea you’ve suggested. I’ll add it to our feature request list and pass it along to our development team. Let me know if you have any other ideas or questions!

If you were able to read in an Alignment file to reference changes when staking out a surface that would be my next request 
. And the ability to toggle the surface visibility when staking a surface so you can just see the strings and points would be great.

Hey @rion.graham-emmerson !
Thanks for sharing your idea here as well!
One thing I have done without needing Emlid Flow to function within Apple Car Play, is just mount the phone on a dash/windscreen mount and do my stakeout anyway!
There may be business/project specific reasons this may not work for you, but if you think it may, here is the link to a section in one of our YouTube videos where we do exactly this!
Hope this is helpful!
Cheers, Al.
