[Qgis-user] Tablet vs GPS accuracy

Re: [Qgis-user] Tablet vs GPS accuracy

Hi, You will always get better positioning off a commercial GPS than a cellphone based one. I put that in inverted commas because times change, and depending on your terrain (city buildings, trees, mountains) and accuracy requirements, better might not be needed for your job. My suggestion

Hei Leo, Unfortunately I do not recall where I read comparison of proper GPS and Smartphones regarding precision. But as far as I remember precision difference depends very much on where you are. Smartphones (and also tablets I guess) make also use of the cell towers / access points to the

Re: [Qgis-user] Tablet vs GPS accuracy

I did a considerable amount of testing comparing conventional gps devices and smartphones and some more advanced gps devices. All compared to cm level dgps locations. One factor to consider is that smartphones tend to be mass produced in much larger numbers than separate gps devices so they

Dan, I haven't done any work with the web serving capabilities of QGIS so I can't offer any opinion there. However, both GeoMoose (http://www.geomoose.org) and MapFish (http://mapfish.org/) are web-based frameworks with printing capability (and there maybe others). Both are based on
