Re: [IRCA] OT - app for latitude / longitude readout on phones

Mark -

I presume you want GPS to allow calculation of  distances since bearing is easily done with compass apps.
You didn't mention exactly what you are trying to do but I thought I would mention that GPS accuracy at its best is not good enough for antenna construction and installation.
And on -not-the-best days, you can't expect an absolute accuracy of anything better than maybe 20 feet. Half that on good days.
If you're trying to measure wire length, I'm afraid a Harbor Freight 100 or 300 foot tape measure is still the way to go.
