2 years ago Hi. I am Rob and I am the original requester of this feature. I just want to add some additional ideas. I use this app to plan development of my homestead, such as documenting natural formations, property line pins, soil test locations, geocaches, future clearing for roads and buildings. I export the data to kml and import to Google MyMaps. I recently used another app to do accurate point averaging to record the corners of two buildings I am planning. That app is named "GPS Average". The good things about that app are: it graphically shows all the stored point locations with respect to the average point, so you can see how much the point collection drifts while collecting, and it gives you a button to 'reset' (delete all previously collected points). What's not good about the app is that it will not export your list of averaged (and labelled) points to a kml file, but you can only 'share' each point individually, which is terrible when you have a collection of many points to export. Check out the app to get some ideas. I think this GPS Logger app can do a better job of point averaging. Thanks!

The "Annotate" function to store a coordinate only grabs the coordinate found in the last gps reading (often inaccurate), but it would be nice to get an "Average" coordinate: similar to what a surveyor would do, start gathering multiple coordinates, while the user lets it run in a fixed location as long as they need, and when finished it stores the average of all those gathered points.
We should find a way to implement it in a simple way, maybe something into the Annotation dialog.
Time for ideas, mockups, proposals.
