Is the accuracy reported by the app worth a shit? GPS Status seems to work well for me. Sometimes it reports 10' accuracy.

Are any phone apps any more accurate than others? is a garmin any more accurate than a phone?

Google Earth plus a tape measure is your best accurate solution for less than multiple thousands of dollars.

I dont care that we get the 50 meters, I want it as accurate as possible. AGL is fin for guessing, but GPS I want as accurate as possible and within reason. and documented. Im thinking thats also going to be something the SAS administrators will be offering is the high resolution plotting since they will need something to market On Tue, Feb 11, 2020 at 3:11 PM castarritt . < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> Horizontal accuracy is to within 50M, and if one of my guys has to carry his ladder that far from where he parked the truck (which records GPS location automatically), I'm sure I'll hear him bitch about it.

They can lose a lot of those. Height tolerance is +/-3M (~9’). Each story of a house is ~10’. Did they put it on the first, second, or third floor of the house?
