Perhaps different map projections? If you are interested in measuring GPS receiver accuracy, there are better approaches than using maps. On Aug 14, 3:54 pm, YoFrankie wrote: > Here you can see some of my gps points displaying on google maps. I > think with a better accuracy those points would

Typically, there is some variant of long term averaging involved when measuring the accuracy of a GPS receiver. I wouldn't trust a map or a getAccuracy() method (at least without knowing the details of what it is measuring). - Greg On Aug 14, 1:20 pm, YoFrankie wrote: > The Location class has

The Location class has a getAccuracy() method and displaying the gps coordinates on google maps shows that 30m accuracy often really means that you are 30 away of the point you really stood at. Accuracy doesn't improve, even when not moving. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Y
