Less and unknown still have the exact same meanings they always do linking Wikipedia articles doesn't change the meanings of words . Its not of lower capability it does the exact same thing but costs heaps less shows a less on the screen but also is heaps smaller so cant complain . We're not going for world records here .
....
yeah i used a android app when my gt31 broke i dont think it was to bad really but i have a feeling it robbed the 2 second times a bit or maybe the ka72 software is more aggressive on those file types ? But i have the canmore now and its accurate , is there going to people complaining about canmores being used in gpstc ? . About the phone in corners isnt that where there would be less of a difference between them all as if there all logging at 1 second intervals and averaged over a distance of 500m that is where a position based reading would show less difference to a doppler one isnt it ?
I'm not sure if you are deliberately being obtuse or not, as messaging can lose some context ... so I'll keep it simple:
- The Canmore is a fine device if you just want to go sailing with yourself / your friends.
- Track-points are about *2 orders* of magnitude worse in error.
- There isn't any complaint for using just about any GPS with approximate accuracy in any of the websites.... there is a specific requirement for specific GPS devices if you want to go for world records. The general consensus is to recommend the GT31 as it has a good price/performance ratio [ the Canmore hasn't lived up to that ].
- The GPS in a phone is crap for windsurfing, as it has implementation requirements that at odds with what we want from windsurfing (eg: they implement a lot of "averaging")
- The 1-second vs 500m discussion has taken place many years ago - if you want to know about it, start a seperate thread.
- Since you dont know whether it is accurate or not, you cannot really even compare it to your own speeds from a previous session (aka: completely ignoring any "world record" stuff)... ie: it wont give you any real confidence that your new speed is likely to be faster than your own speed.
