Title: ALL SI Models - User definable GPS threshold
Post by: W9GFO on June 29, 2012, 06:51:33 PM
Model: 
ALL SI Models
Suggested Upgrade: 
User definable GPS threshold
Explanation: 
Most GPSs will "lock" onto a location when the calculated position does not change beyond a certain threshold. This can give a false sense of accuracy, but it takes care of false speed readings pretty well.

Larger threshold gives a steadier reading at the sacrifice of response time. Automotive units may have a large threshold - you may need to move a few dozen yards before it reports that you are moving.  Smaller thresholds respond better but it can make it look like you are moving when you are not. A handheld may have a "walk" mode where it lowers the threshold so that it shows small movements.

There is not one perfect threshold. It would be a nice feature to be able to adjust it to suit.
