GPS tracking

Do asgalon đăng vào 11 tháng 08 năm 2012 bằng English.

I have been trying out a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos with Google Mytrack the last days. The accuracy of the recorded aGPS data changes somewhere between 3m and 20m radius of the actual position in mid-town area, which is pretty useless for finegrained recording, I would say. I guess open terrain data would not be much better in areas with large phone cells for the network assist. I just ordered a dedicated Visiontac VGPS-900 data logger for further track recordings, so next week I will do some track recording with both devices to compare accuracy.

“The accuracy of the recorded aGPS data changes somewhere between 3m and 20m radius of the actual position in mid-town area”

Err.. in a mid-town area I wouldn’t expect significantly better accuracy from any consumer-level GPS device. No matter what it claims.

I’ll make some comparisons with both devices active in a couple of days. It already looks like in small parks and open areas like at the beach the accuracy is much better than between buildings. I actually came to participate because I am developing a mobile application with mapsforge which will be mainly used in the town area with Android smartphones, so I was wondering how well this would work locating the position with GPS receivers used in normal mobile phones. I already saw that you can get a general idea where you are and fix the exact position using the map if there are sufficient details, but for recording mapping information it seemed a bit coarse. So probably this investment was absolutely superfluous, but that too would already be a result worth noting… So, more of that next weekend when I can compare tracks.

Yeah, GPS in cities (especially with mobile phones) is… variable.

Either way, the VGPS-900 serves as a good “baseline” for the results to be had with a reasonably good receiver.

Oh, I did not take into account that in August EVERYBODY is away for vacations. It looks like they were in such a hurry to get away that they forgot to put a note at their online shop that orders are pretty useless until september…
