Quick Capture GNSS accuracy issues

AnnaBarca1 — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 06:53:20 GMT

Using a Android device (atm Samsung phone and tablet) we have realised that the GPS accuracy in Quick Capture is often off, above 14m

Field maps show an accuracy of < 5m (~3 +time better) using the same features at the same location.

We are using the integrated receiver for both. I haven't had a chance to try with an IOS device but I am suspecting the issue would be the same?

Anyone else has experienced the issue and found a fix ? At the moment we have to move every point collected with Quick Capture to its correct location on Field Maps or ArcGIS online.

I am having similar problems. When I use an integrated chipset receiver on a device with the Qualcomm 4490 processor, I note that Quick Capture is showing accuracies of 12 feet (never better than that). If I close Quick Capture and open Field Maps, then the displayed accuracy is typically 7 feet. Next to buildings, I might even see Quick Capture showing accuracy of 40 feet, but switching to Field Maps shows accuracy of 20 feet.

I'm not sure if the poorer accuracy I'm seeing in Quick Capture is a result of something that is happening in the app, or if there is a way to improve accuracies. Any help would be appreciated.
