Estimated Position Error (EPE)

RyanKelso — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:31:46 GMT

I am using a Trimble Geoexplorer 6000 GeoXH with ArcPad 10.0.4 and GPSCorrect. It is stated in the ArcPad 10 Help that EPE is only output by Garmin GPS receivers so setting a GPS Quality threshold using maximum EPE is only valid when using a Garmin. But my setup does output an EPE, which can be viewed in the GPS Position Window. With this in mind, I've got a little EPE "wishlist". Maybe some of these things are possible, but I haven't been able to figure them out.

Since the receiver is outputting EPE, allow it to be used as a data collection quality threshold (doesn't work now)
Allow EPE to be displayed in the GPS Status Bar instead of elevation
Allow EPE units to be changed to something other than meters
Allow EPE to reflect your estimated postprocessed accuracy, like it can be displayed in GPSCorrect

These would be nice options to have.

Ryan,

I recommend you post your request to ArcGIS Ideas site under Products category Mobile GIS > ArcPad.
But search first to make sure another great user such as yourself hasn't already posted it there before you. 🙂
