Reply to "GPS accuracy for location of a point"

I have dutifully located splits with measurements from nearby fixed objects during certification rides, then located these points as well as possible in GE -  considering the parallax offset inherent in GE ground level (where available) vs. aerial imagery. I have then reproduced these points on my course map or on my timing points appendix. This seems to be adequate for locating non-certified splits. The process entails toggling back-and-forth between views, then marking a line with the ruler, which can be seen on both the ground-level and the aerial views.

However, I have yet to hear that any client has ever used these coordinates. I have discontinued making this effort until I know that clients want or need it.

Thanks for the heads up on Solocator, Gary. I see that there is now an Android version. Though the coordinates don't seem to be very useful for clients - yet - that day is coming. And the rest of the app benefits seem worthwhile.
