So you don't think it's worth recording even to 0.1". i.e. 3m? I've watched= my previous phone continue tracking when I'm stationary, but I would have = said it was mostly moving around within 5m of me. Even if it was 10m, I wou= ld have thought recording to the nearest 1" (30m) would be throwing away so= me usable precision. > > I've also done a little geocaching, and the coordinates supplied often ge= t me within metres of the caches. > > Peter Shute > I too geocached for many years. I'm not saying accuracy isn't important. I'm saying that searching for that= accuracy at a reasonable cost, for what you are doing, is wasted effort. All you need to do is say 'I'm at this location for this recording' A metre= or 2 isn't going to make a difference one way or the other. |
