Description

With GPS Averaging you can get precise GPS coordinates. From many measurements an average value is formed, which is much more accurate than a single snapshot.
The current position is read out every second and a averaged value is calculated. Short jumps of the position can be automatically filtered out. It is also possible to record a plurality of time-offset measurement series to form one coordinate with a increased accuracy.
The ideal tool for the exact determination of coordinates for activities like geocaching.

What's New in Version 2.0

GPS Averaging has received a fundamental revision. In addition to a new and fresh UI, many suggestions by users have been implemented. An update of your rating or writing a new recession would make me very happy!
- Offline Maps: If you have downloaded offline maps in Looking4Cache Pro or mAPP, you can now use them in GPS Averaging too.
- Coordinate formats: You can select between different coordinate formats. These are decimal, DMM, DMS, UTM and Swiss Grid.
- Export: GPX files can be transferred to other apps. Single coordinates can be copied to the clipboard.
- Help: A help within the app explains the averaging coordinates.

Could be good but not stable on iOS v9.2.1...

Nice simple application that looks like it might be very useful once the kinks are worked out.
Testing it on a 4S running 9.2.1 does not give good results. Even as the only application running it does not update or behave correctly.
Sometimes the "dots" for the GPS coordinates do not mark or display when the app is misbehaving even though the coordicnates are changing. (Sometimes it is not a bug and just the fact that the samples are showing exactly the same location.)
Many times after changing to any other menu selections, the GPS "Start" button will not appear. Sometimes none of the button/icon selections will work. (-/+, Menu, Start GPS Averaging, etc...)
Text on the averaging page show /+-7xx
.... but no indication of what that is.
Forcing the app to close and then restarting and going directly to the desired application function will usually get it to work correctly for only one instance.
Suggestions:
The coordinate format needs to have options for display format so manual conversion is not required between Decimal Degrees, DMS, GPS, etc...
iOS file exports would be helpful.
Allowing the App to continue running for XX minutes and then stopping with an average. Or allow a setting for say XXX samples then stop. Or you could set an accuracy target of < xx.x feet/meters and then it would stop if the accuracy has not improved more than x.x meter/feet in x minutes.
There is support for a landscape format map, but the application does not rotate to match the landscape map. This would be helpful.
I would really give this only 1 or 2 stars because of the bugs, but this is an old version and the developers web site says there is a v2.0.2 under review by Apple. Hopefully this will fix many of these issues as the developer indicated. If so this would be a 4-5 star app.

Crap app

It took an average and the average was 30 feet away from where I was. Going to be looking for my money back. Luckily it didn't cost a whole lot.

It does what it says

Now I realize that I am reviewing the very first version of this app, so this is not a complaint but rather a wish list for future versions. Needs options similar to L4C like offline map tiles caching and an option to save GPX files in other applications such as Fileapp and DocsToGo, Other email and social media apps. Or how about an option to send over Wi-Fi via FTP where another device can open/save using a web browser? That would be sweet.

Doesn't work ... At all.

Just downloaded the app on my iPhone 5c running iOS 8. I tried it out, and the first thing I noticed was no map ever appeared. I switched map types. Nothing. Then I tried letting it collect measurements for over a minute. The result? A bunch of zeros for the coordinates.
I'm requesting a refund.

Very helpful

I really love this app. It makes my coordinates much more accurate and easy to obtain. I think both hiders and seekers will appreciate this app. I also like the minimal interface, which made perfect sense to me.

Needs instructions!

I got what I think we're accurate coordinates. I'm fairly new to geocaching and don't know the ins and outs of GPS stuff. I'd love to know how to clear the growing list of coords. I'd like to know which coords are my absolute average. I'd have scored it higher but I don't know for sure if I'm using it correctly.
