    Are you using RTK GNSS navi? It doesn’t make much sense to measure deviations in forest using civilian GPS which loses accuracy easy and location becomes arbitrary.
    I am working on 150eur RTK prototype based on M5stack GPS which would allow to have survey grade accuracy in palm sized device. Most expensive of course is GNSS antenna.
    I am still struggling with programming side but it is already able to log locations to SD card for PPK.

    • @TOM-ITI
      @TOM-ITI  2 месяца назад

      Oh wow, you seem like you have lot's of knowledge on the subject 😅
      We are using Garmin GPSMAP 67. Usually when we get to a forest I turn on the multi-band mode to improve accuracy. It seemed to work quite well most of the time. But you're welcome to advise us how to improve in that regard.

    • @otofoto
      @otofoto 2 месяца назад +1

      @ Strange that some mention that GPSMAP 67 is capable of RTK but doesn’t seem to utilize it. Seems it is because of AG3335M chipset it uses which is RTK capable (decimeter precision) but device is not. So you could at least install latest firmware and decrease logging interval to get better tracking accuracy.
      That is why I am looking for other solution with M5stack which has uBlox chip but this device is also not capable to utilise RTK which chip has so little hacking.
      So you gave me additional inspiration to actually finish the project as could see where such accuracy higher than meter but lower than survey grade cm accuracy would be handy. It would be great for your tracking. At least it could log more accurate track to SD card which could be processed later with local PPK adjustments.

    I know you've already completed this mission, but in the future - try to be more careful around abandoned houses in the forest/countryside, as they may have old water wells, the tops of which have collapsed/deteriorated, thus leaving a huge, deep hole in the ground hidden by grass

      BTW, regarding the first video, an amusing thing is that when I pronounce Estonian words I at least
      used to use Swedish accent too. I remember reading Rimi packaging to a Lithuanian girl who learned
      Estonian and she was like: “Oh, you know Estonian!?” And after that she was: “That’s some crazy
      accent you have.” 😃
      I went to Tartu “AHHAA” science center, and I caught myself many times thinking, wait are they
      speaking Latvian, just to realize, I don’t understand anything.
      So the next time I was reading movie description to my Estonian pal, I didn’t exaggerate it, and he
      was like: “What the hell, you just fooled me, how the heck you suddenly started speaking such good
      Estonian.” 😄
