Why can’t I get as accurate GPS position with ODK Collect as I can get with other apps?

Hi,

Just wondering, how have you measured the accuracy of the GPS location. From my experience, GPS locations of Google maps are not same all the time, it varies time to time. If you use GPS locator devise, that should be more accurate than a mobile phone. GPS location will always vary if you use google maps on mobile phone or use ODK collect. Users of ODK are using the application considering this minor variation. However, ODK is open source and the source code is available to public for customization if needed.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,
