Steps to help ensure your trap.nz phone app has accurate GPS locations

 

When using the trap.nz phone app, you will need to follow these steps to minimise GPS locations being incorrect.

Please read the following link which explains GPS accuracy and why sometimes the GPS coordinates are not where you expect them to be.

General notes on phone GPS accuracy, what to expect, how to improve results.

 For android phones

The phone needs to have:

  1. The location services set to While in Use, or Always On (Android, iOS)
  2. Have battery optimisation turned off for the Trap.nz app (Android.)

For recording tracks and using Line Walk features, failing to do use Always On will mean no tracks are recorded when the app is in the background (i.e. in your pocket.)
