Step 1: Reach RS3 Setup

  • Power on the Reach RS3
  • While reach is powering on, turn on a wifi hotspot on a 2.4 ghz band.
  • From the app store, download and open the Emlid Flow app.
  • In the Emlid Flow app, connect to the receiver via Bluetooth.
  • After connecting, go to WiFi in the Emlid Flow app, and choose your hotspot from the list.
  • Then click profile in the bottom right corner, then Settings, then app settings, and enable advanced connection.
  • Return to receivers, and you should see the receiver listed again but this time with an IP address listed below it. Write down that Ip address (we will use this when connecting in Diamond Maps) and choose that receiver to connect to.
  • Next, select correction input, then choose Ntrip via Reach, then click the edit button (pencil), then click the plus at the top, then enter your ntrip credentials, and click save.
  • Next, click settings, then Position 2 streaming, then tcp server, then click the edit button (pencil), then format, then choose NMEA, then click NMEA settings, then change tilt compensation for NMEA to compensate receiver position, then click edit next to antenna height and enter your pole height, then click save, then scroll to the bottom hit apply, then click the x, and then hit save.
  • Return to the main receivers screen.

Step 2: Diamond Maps Setup

  • From the app store download and open Diamond Maps Offline
  • In Diamond Maps Offline, click Menu, GPS Status, click select GPS Source, choose Emlid TCP, enter the IP address noted earlier, and click connect.
  • Close the setup screen and you should see a yellow dot on the map at your location.
