• Allowed accuracy – choose admissible GPS error from 1-100 m. Best to set it up to 3m for measurements. GPS accuracy may change during the measurement. Most of the GPS devices admissible measurement error is 3-4 m. If you set admissible error to 1m, then the error zone is usually larger, and you will have to add points manually [+]
