How to record locations more precisely than GPS, using an Android phone as a GNSS receiver
- On an Android phone, log the raw GNSS data using one of the following apps. For each location you want to measure, capture 5 minutes of data.
- Transfer the log file to a desktop computer (Windows, Linux, or iOS).
- Run the GNSS Logger desktop app to re-analyze the log data.
For more information about how this improves the precision, and why it can only be obtained after re-analysis and not in real-time, see this.
