Hi to all,
I've tested the precision of ODK in collecting coordinates by comparing the coordinates taken by a Garmin, and I saw that ODK overestimated the position of few meters.
My question is: there is any approach to pair the professional GPS coordinates with ODK a more for reliable mapping?
Thanks a lot.
Others have definitely done what you ask.
Perhaps someone has written a bridging app that they can share to achieve
this?
And are you aware of the "accuracyThreshold" attribute?
See the snippet here:

Hi Mitch, thanks for the answer.
I searched the forum to see if someone has done this with an external GPS, but I don't found any instruction about that.
I'm aware of "accuracyThreshold" attribute, but I created my form with Build tool, so I don't know if it would be possibile to put such attribute from there.
Thanks again.
For ODK Build, you would need to edit the XML and add that attribute in
manually.
And there is also a setting in the device settings that selects whether to
also use wifi- or cell- based geodata when reporting coordinates.
This could also affect the accuracy of the returned coordinate.

Ok, perfect, thanks for your clarification!

Yes thanks, I'm aware of that.
If the GPS you are using supports Bluetooth, you can pair your Android
device with that GPS
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=googoo.android.btgps&hl=en)
and ODK should be able to use those coordinates.

Hi Yan, thanks a lot for the answer!
I will have a look to your solution, thanks again.
