The Eos Bridge is a palm-sized Bluetooth connector that makes any third-party instrument or sensor, such as a laser rangefinder, Bluetooth compatible with iOS, Android or Windows devices. This allows you to combine the power of survey-grade mapping from Arrow Series GNSS receivers, GIS apps and professional measurements from third-party instruments and sensors.
Convenient, Portable and Rugged
With its long-lasting battery, the Eos Bridge delivers days of continuous use on a single charge. And thanks to its lightweight design, the Eos Bridge can easily be stored in a pocket, clipped to a belt, or attached directly to any instrument. The Eos Bridge is also rugged and waterproof, so you can confidently take it to the harshest environments.
Connect with Legacy-Bluetooth Instruments
Have you ever wished your existing laser rangefinder, utility locator — or any other sensor — would automatically send data to your mobile mapping solution? The days of wishing are over. With the Eos Bridge, simply pair any legacy instrument to your iOS device (while connected to an Arrow GNSS receiver), and the Eos Bridge takes care of the rest. Measurements from your professional instruments will flow directly to iOS, where you can capture them in a GIS app with high-accuracy locations from your Arrow GNSS receiver.
Connect with Serial Port
No legacy Bluetooth module? No problem. Instruments and sensors can also connect to the Eos Bridge via a serial port to achieve the same results. Choose this option to use the Eos Bridge with not only iOS devices, but also Android and Windows smartphones and tablets.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.
