it unlocks many cool features!
- I was preparing some tracks for upload into openstreetmap - when I noticed that there was a huge spatter, where the n900 had been on when indoors for some time, and occasionally gone to network positioning mode.
- It would be a nice feature to add 'Dilution of position' into the GPX file.
- This is basically the estimated GPS error.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_of_precision_%28GPS%29
- A sensible scale would probably be somewhere in the region of error in m /20.
- http://www.openstreetmap.org/trace/103981/data - an example file.
- The above trace - loaded into JOSM - an openstreetmap editor - http://www.mauve.plus.com/gps-err.png and zoomed into one part of the trace.
- The GPS trace is shown as circles, coloured according to the speed, and with the radius equaling the approximate precision.
- The large circle is - not coincidentally - when going under a bridge!
- https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=6284 - eph is the horizontal error in cm.
- http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo5.0/non-free/l/location-test-gui/ shows this when logging.
- In addition to displaying - it's possible with other tools to discard data with very bad HDOP.
- A very useful widget - thanks!
