There is an android app called "GPS averaging" that can average many
readings in order to get a more realistic value of the position.

Greetings, fellow dialists,
Ian Maddocks asks what dials are on whole number lat/long lines.
During the BSS tour of Austria in 2002 we visited a pillar dial
labelled "Nieder osterreich" which claimed to be exactly at 48 deg
N, 15 deg. E. It is recorded in " Austria 2002; a sundial safari.
Bulletin of the British Sundial Society, 14, 3, 104-109, 2002" with
the following: "But following the Royal Society's motto Nulius in
verba ("don't believe a word of it") our party produced several
GPS machines and the monument' position was found to be a couple
of thou. out. The suggestion that there were enough of us present
to shift it to the correct location was reluctantly rejected."
