We have a BadElf mini flex extreme external GPS receiver, which is automatically used in lieu of device GPS for ESRI apps like Survey123. However, Arena doesn't recognize the BadElf and uses the device GPS instead. The work-around involves changing developer settings on the phone/tablet to enable the BadElf to perform "mock location" services for that phone or tablet. However, we are on government devices and not allowed to modify developer settings due to security risks. This means we're getting a maximum of 3 m accuracy for our plot locations!

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about how to resolve this issue? I recognize that Arena likely doesn't have the staff to build in communication with all external GPS receivers, but perhaps there is a way to select the receiver being used by the device when taking a point?
