Hello: I was thinking of an app that would provide some measure of dilution of precision (DOP). It would be of help in determining the times during which the GPS was working optimally for a given point on earth. The closest analogy I can think of is something like the tide table apps that are available. Thanks. Mike

Hello: I am familiar with Trimble's Planning software. Does anyone know if there is an app for the iPhone that performs a similar function? Thank you. Mike

Hello Cache-R-Joe: Are you recalibrating after every battery change? It is my understanding that this is required. Good Luck Mike

Hello: Does anyone know if someone makes a hand held, 3-axis, electronic compass: one that is independent of a GPS receiver? I know that 3-axis compass chipsets are manufactured to be small enough to fit into cell phones. However, I don't want to get a cell phone. Thanks in advance for any information. Mike

Hello Lee: I would love an app like that. I periodically check the app store for this type of app, but haven't found one. I think that I have done a pretty good job searching. Take care, Mike P.S. I would have no qualms about paying for such an app.

Hello: I am new to the world of GPS receivers, so I am uncertain as to what to expect with respect to accuracy. I finally had a chance to use my receiver outdoors and I made the following observations. Under tree cover, I was typically getting a location of +/- 20-24 feet while moving. Also, when hiking the same trail to and from a given destination, the tracks were not superimposed. They tended to be (sub)parallel to one another with some crisscrossing. Is it reasonable to have expected that the track "out" would have "covered" the track "in"? What about the location values? Any insight will be appreciated. Thank you. Mike

Thank you! Mike

Hello: I have a question about the GA 27C antenna (Part. No. 010-10052-05). Is the MCX connector a 90 degree connector, or is it straight? Thank you. Mike
