Is the accuracy reported by the app worth a shit? 

GPS Status seems to work well for me. Sometimes it reports 10' accuracy.

Im not worried about altitude, was just looking for an accurate coordinate. Are 
any phone apps any more accurate than others? is a garmin any more accurate 
than a phone?

Garden variety GPS will give you crap for altitude. GPS in general is crap for 
altitude. 
Google Earth plus a tape measure is your best accurate solution for less than 
multiple thousands of dollars.

If I give any variance to the installers, they will push it too far. 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

Horizontal accuracy is to within 50M, and if one of my guys has to carry his

automatically), I'm sure I'll hear him bitch about it.

I guess in theory the SAS might grant you a lower EIRP than it otherwise would 
if you overstate the height by a meter or two. Hard to believe that will make a 
big difference.

Tape measure? $8/each on Amazon. 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?
