[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2326620, member: 97050"] “Accuracy” is ambiguous. Is it accurate as far as the property boundaries? Yes. More so then most gate post. According to some trespassing disputes. If you use the app, then the compass IS only as accurate as the phone as it uses the onboard electronic compass. Accuracy of a compass starts with the user knowing that the phone compass or even gps compass is in true north, magnetic or grid north. Digital compasses are effected by electromagnetic interference. Maps are effected by the accuracy listed of the magnetic declination. If you want to get technical. All this is irrelevant to the app. If using the ONx chip with the GPS, it works just like any other GPS, and is only as accurate as the last update. However, I think you get more preseason e-scouting opportunity from the ipad/iphone. If you know what layers to use, for whatever you’re doing. I find the satellite features to be as equally useful as is forest service maps. [/QUOTE]
