Recorded a track using opentracker app for a 100km journey through the backroads. Phone was placed as far back on the pillion seat to get maximum view of the sky. No kalmann filter or anything.
The resulting track was very smooth, extremely few jaggies. One particular section of note is at the newly opened elevated highway that is probably at least 10 stories high. Due to the slanted imagery, the traced highway and the gps track differs by about 15 meters. Personally, I won’t bother realigning (although the temptation is very irresistible) - besides somebody else would probably moved it back according to imagery. I learned long ago that trying to get people to check imagery alignment with the provided cm level survey points before editing is a hopeless endeavor.
Still, I am pretty excited with the raw GNSS measurement ability of the phone and intend to set out more survey points just for the hell of it. Waiting for kind, knowledgable people to provide an appimage for the gnssanalysis software since I couldn’t get past installing matlab whatever in its current form.

I am confused whether you obtained gpx point data or gps track data. If you’re talking about processing GNSS data, I usually use licensed Geomax Geo office and sometimes GNSS solution for processing data obtained from DGPS.

Sorry if it was unclear. The first venture was just plain gpx data.
After that at a different location, I averaged a point for 5++ minutes and collected GNSS data using android’s gnss tools, then trying to ‘post process’ the gnss.log file using the open source GNSS analysis software. Failed to install this software despite repeated tries and various solutions available online, so currently I am giving it a rest.

@kucai I tried to get RTKlibs working with with gnsslogger, but I couldn’t find base station data for base station at KL on CDDIS website for some reason.

I don’t know whether the base station data is available for the public for free.
When I was in surveying, the official JUPEM gps/surveyed data and whatnot requires a subscription - $1k/year if I am not mistaken. A private correction signal (sms/gprs) based is also available presumably to customers that bought South gps survey sets although we saw a tiny difference in recorded values compared to JUPEM’s.

@kucai apparently you can buy those GPS Station from JUPEM for rm15 per station but who knows long and what kind of data they gives you, there is no a lot of info on their website
