Geocaching - Averaging a batch of sample coordinates

[Peter Cloet]

Hello,

Not sure if this functionality is "hidden" somewhere and I haven't found it yet or whether this should become a feature request.
On may GPS devices used for geocaching, you have the possibility to "sample" your current GPS coordinates and get an average of this sample. This is particulary useful when hiding a cache and measuring up the coordinates.

Is this already available?
If not, where should I place my "new feature" request?

Greetz,

Peter

Hi Peter,
create a POI/waypoint, klick on the pencil right the coords, in new window you find Co APPS "GPS Averaging".
Start it and than start the measure, stop the measure when the accuracy is good and store the Poi

..you find Co APPS "GPS Averaging"

...but first you have to install "GPS Averaging"

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback.

I installed the GPS Averaging tool but unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to work with my external Bluetooth GPS.
Any other suggestions?

hi Peter,
  yes this is most probable. Using BT GPS with GPS averaging should be possible if you install and use Bluetooth GPS application from Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=googoo.android.btgps

then you should connect to BT GPS and received data should be usable also in GPS Averaging. Little bit complicated, but it should work
