Oh, sure, there's a debate to be had about whether or not recording an accuracy measurement is important for the quality of mapping that OSM is doing: and on that, I've already stated my viewpoint that, given the low quality of polylines drawn by numerous mappers, GPS drift (especially averaged over n tracks) is the least of our problems. But the debate hasn't just been about that - it's gone to "I sincerely wonder why anyone in the community would buy a Garmin", or "why do you even care for these devices". And that risks elevating one factor (clearly important to some, not to others) to a sine qua non. OSM is, as ever, a broad church; we need to be a little careful about saying "you really must not buy a device without X,Y and Z", because that assumes that others' priorities are always the same as your own. I have no doubt that for the sort of surveying you like to do that DOP is important, but for me it ain't. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
