Record position as RINEX #5381

Hi, I post it here as a possible idea for a future enhancement /plugin.

Roaming a bit looking for a way to record RINEX data from the device’s internal GPS I found this project (recent but I don’t know if it’s still active). I’m not a developer and I don’t have the knowledge base to understand but -I think- it may provide a good base for integration of such tools to the "average position" recording option that has been included in QField in the last releases.

You need a Gnss rover that can record it, simple gnss receivers like in phones can’t.

I don't think this enhancement request makes sense. RINEX is for recording carrier phase data. QField expects to get positions. Yes, one could take proprietary format streams from a receiver and transform to RINEX and then later postprocess to get positions -- but what does that have to do with QField?

One could create an app that e.g. wraps RTKLIB and computes RTK position and sends them to QField (by mocking, or some other interface), but that's something else too.

I recommend closing this issue.
