I ended up with 2 sokkia 2700is/isx in auction. There was no data collector.
I have no knowledge of these things or gps/gnss anyways.
I was thinking that if i would be able to use these to walk and mark edges for forest that i own and if possible to connect these to android smartphone or windows tablet for agricultural guiding system or even autosteer (like AgOpenGPS).
I tried to connect my android phone to sokkia with bluetooth and it connected.?ÿ Tried to use "Bluetooth GNSS" app as "mock up gps" but it didn't give any cordinates.
Probably i need some software to adjust settings inside Sokkia 2700.
What software i can use to adjust settings in Sokkia? (free/cheap)
Is there any cheap/free mapping softwares for windows or android which can connect to sokkia 2700 isx?
Is there software for windows tablet to use it as data collector?
?ÿ
It is going to be hard to explain various aspects of using survey grade equipment from scratch via this forum.
So, without getting into all nuances, try to install SurvPC data collecting software from the link below, demo version will do the job in your case, I believe.

Here is the link to related user manual:

Connecting your receiver to the windows tablet running this software will be a step forward for you as, hopefully, you will be able to see sattelites tracked and coarse position and this will tell us whether your receivers are operational at all.
Refer to the user manual of Sokkia GSR2700:
Also, type this phrase in google search: gps/gnss surveying principles
and educate yourself if needed.
Then, you'll be able to come back with more specific questions, easier to answer for very helpful users of this forum.
Thank you very much. I'll check on those.
I know it will be much of learning ahead and what makes it slightly even harder is language barrier because i'm not native english speaker and this professional vocabulary is new to me.
2700is is working and i got location to my phone with some app.
2700isx seems to be stuck on bootloop.
