Details

Previous considerations

• The Leica Zeno Connect application, available for Android on the Google Play Store, allows configuring the GG02, GG03, GG04, GG04 PLUS, FLX100, FLX100 PLUS and GS05 receivers to work in RTK, via virtual bases, acting as a "bridge" between the receiver and tcpGPS.

• There are two connection modes for these receivers with tcpGPS, depending on the model:

  • Via Mock Locations:

    • Models GG02, GG03, GG04 and GS05.

    • Within tcpGPS, these models are available by selecting GNSS Internal Receiver, and brand Leica.

    • Once the Zeno Connect app is installed, you must select it in the Mock location app section, within Android Settings > Developer options. The name of this option may vary depending on the brand and model of the Android device.

  • Via Bluetooth:

    • Models GG04 PLUS, FLX100 and FLX100 PLUS.

    • Within tcpGPS, these models are available by selecting GNSS External Receiver (Bluetooth), and brand Leica.

    • Requires enabling NMEA messages GGA, GSA, GSV and GST, within the Zeno Connect app, with a frequency of 1Hz for all of them except for GSV, which must be enabled every 5 seconds.

• The RTK configuration is common to all models and is performed via Settings > Real-Time Corrections, within the Zeno Connect app.
