But its pretty common to share card and scree ...

I also notice the MCS gps distance sample make use of DOUBLE precision , and code from another user make use of SINGLE precision . Which is better , good enough , for this application? ...

cool, i'm not going nuts.

It would've been around ten years ago when I first used Bascom for Serial.

Also,
what about taking a lat lon - offset this by say a kilometre N
take the (average of last 10 reading) offset this 100m south

final reading is the halfway point between the two -450m?

The Runner has a accel/gyro sensor since it can be used "off road " so this might be the best to use this extra movement sensor since normally your arm is moving when running.

there would be ...

Hi Nico,

I'm thinking about the same problem,

maybe using a accel/gyro to check for rubbish gps jumps?

or maybe use $GPGGA field6 "Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP)"
keep a running ave ...

doh

just read the help.

I've always thought the hardware uart baud was fixed at compile and couldn't be changed, don't know why

thanks Ben

Another option - you can get 5000+ count encoders pretty cheap <$400 ish , Calibrating the zero pulse would be a bitch though.
But it would yield a reliable and repeatable measurement, but you'll ...
