T1M+ and JMT/Alt Data Collection Software/Data Collector

[Jim Campi]

I am looking for some feedback on the most inexpensive android tablet that I can use with the 1M+ on JMT as a network rover.

I am unfamiliar with the Android OS other than my experience with phones when they were first released. I have been with Apple for nearly 10 years.

Does anyone have a recommendation on the model that I can use with Javad Mobile Tools and the system will be snappy. Of course I could buy a $200 unit, set it up and if it's slow to respond I will end up getting something else. Perhaps it doesn't matter and any android based unit will work equally well. Not sure...

Also I saw something unusual in the Javad training videos. Data collection software other than JField or JMT was featured by a firm in Germany, I believe. Does anyone have any thoughts on this software for use with my application.

Of course I continue to have the LS for use when network survey is not appropriate. I work in many areas where there is no cellular signal or it's weak and the constantly receive errors from the CA Real Time System that I can't connect (separate issue that I have not been able to resolve).

Thanks for any thoughts.

Ok, no reply...can anyone tell me what tablets work well with the latest version of JMT.

JAVAD has a ruggedized Victor-4 PRO 'Android' tablet available that is able to be used to install JMT v5.
In addition JAVAD can also supply a 'survey pole mounting bracket' for the Victor-4 tablet.

HI John,

What is the cost of this unit? I purchased the 1m+ not long ago and a copy of JMT was included if that makes a difference on cost?

Thank you for the reply. If cost is right I need to do this asap.

Hi Jim,
If you have already purchased JMT, then JMT v5 can be used on your Android device (as-is - but with 'registration').
For the Victor-4 Pro Android, do contact our Javad sales team . . .

Hi Jim,
The JAVAD JMT v5.x application can communicate with a JAVAD GNSS receiver using the JAVAD JPS message format.

For 3rd-party GIS data collector applications, most of them on the 'market' require a NMEA-0183 message stream to be collected by the 'application'.
The JAVAD GNSS receivers can definitely provide NMEA-0183 messages for this scenario.

Some 3rd-party 'GIS data collector' applications provide for sending a 'command sequence' to the JAVAD GNSS receiver to enable (and even configure) parameter and message settings
Other do not
HOWEVER, most 'GIS data collector' applications allow for setting of the 'pole height' for the received GNSS 'antenna position'.

For instances where 'one is using' a 'GIS data collector' application that simply reads NMEA-0183 PVT messages, via Bluetooth or serial or USB, then configure the JAVAD GNSS receiver (via NetView or GREIS command) with the following 'JAVAD command':-
