I suspect that what lbendlin is trying to say is that you are making an assumption: that the error introduced in one GPS coordinate has a relationship to the error introduced in other GPS coordinates: "No matter, I only needed today’s apparent location from a fixed point and I had the apparent location for the fixed location. The other waypoints were all in relation to the given point on the measurement day. All I had to do was determine the offset between today and the original measurement day and I could add the offset to all the other points as the game was being played and the waypoints would maintain their relative distance even though the apparent location had shifted." It is entirely possible that GPS works that way -- I haven't researched the point. However, I certainly wouldn't assume it works that way. Moreover, it would stun me if it *did* work that way, at least for consumer-grade GPS. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
