Hello James Tedrick / Ismael Chivite / Marika Vertzonis
I'm currently testing the beta 3.1.65 release that includes full GNSS metadata capabilities. I have my locational accuracy set to 1ft, and love that Survey123 will ping my GPS receiver until it reaches that threshold then lock in those values. However, what would also be excellent is if GPS Averaging could be initiated without any user input, as Larry Wiebe requests above. Ideally, this may be triggered based on if the survey detects either:
- If I detect I'm using an external GPS receiver and I have ${sourceTypy) ='RTK' then I want ${accuracyThreshold} < 1ft.
- If i detect I'm using an internal GPS receiver, or my external receiver does not have RTK service, I want averaging to kick-in and my accuracyThreshold = 5ft
Furthermore, is there already some method to capture the number of positions used to capture an averaged location? If so, I can't find any info on how to get it.
I can't emphasize enough how valuable a "fall back" option such as this would be. It would add significant value to the ability of Survey123 to leverage external GPS receivers which commonly require cellular connectivity to get subfoot accuracies. Knowing I could automatically switch to the averaging option (and not have to rely on field crews to do it for me) would be awesome!
I do think I could rig something up through the use of TWO GeoPoints - making one relevant based on the receiver type and/or ${sourceType}. However, that's a major pain as then I need to query two GeoPoints to determine where I get values such as Lat/Long etc.
