Coordinates from GPS differ from those in SMART Mobile by more than 200m

Hello everyone

I have encountered a problem when giving rangers coordinates from the GPS (Garmin GPSMAP 64sc) to navigate in SMART Mobile (v1.0.478) location differ by more than 200m. The projection in the GPS and SMART Mobile is the same (Arc 1960 UTM Zone 36S).

Can someone help me on how to resolve this?

Thanks

Hi,

This is most likely caused by the device you are using for SMART Mobile, rather than the software. SMART Mobile receives the coordinated from the GPS in the phone. Smartphones can vary considerably in the accuracy of their GPS chips/antennas.
