QField works seamlessly with ArduSimple RTK GNSS receivers to deliver reliable, survey-grade positioning for professional field data collection. Capture precise points, lines, and boundaries directly in your QGIS projects and compare them with authoritative datasets such as cadastral maps.
On Android devices, QField can connect directly to compatible GNSS receivers via Bluetooth or USB for real-time positioning. On iPhone and iPad, external receivers connect over Wi-Fi, enabling high-accuracy positioning and RTK corrections within iOS constraints. In both cases, you can verify property boundaries, map infrastructure, or document land features with confidence.
Combined with QFieldCloud, field data flows instantly between your team and the office. Projects, basemaps, and updates stay synchronized, enabling real-time collaboration, version control, and centralized management of your survey workflows.
Why this setup
- Centimeter-level positioning with RTK corrections
- Direct connection on Android and Wi-Fi integration on iOS
- Ideal for boundary verification, asset mapping, and land management
- Seamless field-to-office workflow with QGIS
- Real-time synchronization and team collaboration via QFieldCloud
