Further information¶
The application runs on every version of Android from Android 7 onwards. A more recent device with one of the latest versions of Android is recommended, both for adequate performance and for the availability of modern features. Google Mobile Services are required.
Note
The licence can be transferred from the old device to another one quickly and easily. Go to the “Software activation” menu and choose “Transfer activation code”, then follow the instructions on screen to complete the transfer.
Warning
To survey in the field with the SoluTOP MS2 GNSS system and reach good accuracy — a few centimetres horizontally and vertically, for instance — the receiver has to be configured with an NMEA output stream. (see Uploading configurations)
