If you can get NMEA GGA sentences from your FM1000, that is preferable to using the phone's internal GPS receiver. A GPS receiver in an Android device, when tracking, will generate heat causing the device to get warm, may delay the time it takes to get going, or could potentially be inaccurate. It's a nice backup option for when you can't get GPS from the RTK receiver, but you may as well use the positions from the RTK receiver if you can.

Thanks Lance. Like I said in my post, I haven't tried the phone GPS. It is very beneficial to get your insight.

By the way, if you already have something plugged into port C of the FM1000, for instance the Platform kit for a valve module, you can still use Port C. All of the Trimble cables I have used have a Port Rep plug extending from it. With the valve module kit for example, the valve module is using CAN communication, the Port Rep plug still has the serial data pins available for use.
