GM SPIKE 2 for accurate field area measurement

A compact Bluetooth GNSS receiver designed for farmers, agronomists and land measurement tasks where you need a cleaner signal, faster satellite lock and more reliable boundary recording than a phone or tablet alone.

Optimized for agricultural field measurement. If your project requires stakeout or cadastral-grade accuracy, explore our GNSS RTK receiver series.

Why GM SPIKE 2

GM SPIKE 2 is a practical measurement tool for agricultural field boundaries. It improves real-world positioning on Android devices by using a dedicated external GNSS receiver with a stronger antenna environment, cleaner signal handling and more stable continuous point logging along the field edge.

Cleaner satellite data

Compared with a phone alone, the receiver is designed to improve signal quality and make field contour logging more stable while walking or driving around the boundary.

Works from vehicle or on foot

Mount it on a vehicle roof with the magnetic holder or fix it on a telescopic pole for walking measurements in narrow, irregular or obstacle-rich areas.

Android + geometer SCOUT

Connect by Bluetooth, open geometer SCOUT and start measuring areas, points, distances, polygons and field boundaries in one familiar workflow.

How it works in the field

Simple workflow, fast onboarding and reliable results for routine agricultural measurements.

Connect over Bluetooth

Pair GM SPIKE 2 with your Android phone or tablet and place the receiver on a vehicle roof or on a pole for walking measurement.

Open geometer SCOUT

Launch the app, create a project, select the map type you need and start field measurement using the external receiver as the location source.

Walk or drive along the border

Record the real field shape in continuous mode to capture bends, turns and irregular edges more accurately than rough tap-on-map estimation.

Save, edit and export

Review the polygon, split zones if needed, add notes and export the result for reporting, planning or transfer to other systems.

geometer SCOUT software

The system is powered by geometer SCOUT for Android — a mobile field measurement app that helps you measure, edit, organize and export map objects directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Measure points, lines and areas

Work with coordinates, distances and polygons in one project. Use tap-on-map measurement or connect an internal or external GNSS source.

Edit and manage objects

Rename objects, add notes, adjust points, change fill color, control visibility and keep field information organized in layers.

Advanced geometry tools

Split plots, add holes, build circular shapes, measure between objects and refine the final map directly in the field.

Coordinate tools

Enter your own coordinates, average location to improve accuracy and use the point navigation function when you need to move to a selected place.

Flexible map views

Switch between standard, satellite, topographic and grid-style views depending on the task, terrain and visibility conditions.

KML import and export

Transfer projects between systems, save completed measurements and continue your workflow in office software or other mapping environments.

Benefits for farmers and agronomists

The value of GM SPIKE 2 is not just better positioning. It helps make day-to-day agricultural measurement faster, more repeatable and easier to document.

Measure real field shape

Capture bends, irregular borders, narrow entries and curved edges with continuous logging instead of rough visual estimation.

Reduce manual errors

Dedicated external GNSS positioning gives more dependable geometry than relying only on a consumer phone in the field.

Work from a car or on foot

Choose the faster vehicle workflow for accessible edges or switch to the pole setup for tight spaces and complex boundaries.

Keep digital field records

Store measured plots, export files, add notes and keep consistent data for future planning and comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Get straight answers about accuracy, compatibility, and real-world performance. Whether you're comparing GM SPIKE 2 with phone-only measurements or considering an RTK system — here's what you need to know.

Is GM SPIKE 2 an RTK receiver?

No. It is a dedicated GNSS receiver for improved field area measurement with Android devices. For RTK tasks such as precise stakeout or cadastral work, choose a GNSS RTK model.

Can I use it with my own Android phone or tablet?

Yes. GM SPIKE 2 connects to Android devices by Bluetooth and works with geometer SCOUT. The extended bundle is simply a ready-to-use option for customers who want a full kit.

What is the main advantage over using only a smartphone?

The external receiver is built for cleaner satellite reception and more stable continuous measurement, which helps produce more dependable field contours than a phone alone.

Can I measure while driving?

Yes. The basic bundle includes a magnetic holder for mounting the receiver on a vehicle roof, which is convenient for measuring accessible field boundaries by car.

Can I measure on foot?

Yes. The extended bundle includes a telescopic pole and phone holder, making it more convenient to record boundaries on foot in complex areas.

Can I export my results?

Yes. geometer SCOUT supports KML import and export, helping you keep your measured field data portable and reusable.
