POIFix is an android app for remote geoposition and navigational fix for distant and/or inaccessible targets. It is based on survey triangulation principle and uses the camera line of sight and the built-in position and orientation sensors for angles. Results include the target geoposition coordinates, height of target and real-time distance and azimuth to target from the current position of the device.
The results are very approximate (may be up to several meters off in some cases) and cannot be used as final results in any precise positioning projects. The accuracy depends on the accuracy of GPS and the native sensors in the device. It may be used as a tool for field or target reconnaissance or as an outdoor recreational tool for such things as mountain height measurement from a distance. Results also depends on the user.
POIFix offers a tablet-optimized UI and great features for tablet users. Developed and tested using Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as the primary test device, its performance with any other particular android device cannot be guaranteed at this point. Your feedback will help to evaluate its performance across different devices.
If you like the app and find it useful, please leave a review. Feature requests, comments, and suggestions are all welcome. Features will be added as customer requests, so your input is valuable.
REQUIRED PERMISSIONS:
1. ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (GPS).
2. CAMERA.
USAGE STEPS:
To geoposition a distant or inaccessible target, you need to take two measurements to the target.
1. Start the app and if it is your first time, make sure you read the QUICK TIPS that come up as a dialog when you open the app for the first time.
2. Enter the device height (i.e., your eye level height).
3. Aim target on cross-hairs (stay on it for about ten seconds*), then press button A.
4. Move to another location, but not directly towards or away from the target.
5. At the second location, aim target on cross-hairs (stay on it for about ten seconds*), then press button B.
*For best results, count to at least ten seconds before pressing the button for measure while aiming the target with the cross-hairs. This allows the sensor readings to stabilize.
SUPPORT REQUESTS:
If you need any help or quick guidance on how to use the app, or if you want to relay a comment, a question or suggestion directly, feel free to email at any time.
In case of problems with the app, keep in mind that certain responses might not help solve a problem, for example responses that simply say "doesn't work!!" or "bad app!" or any other such phrases without a brief explanation of the problem, but rather if you say exactly what happens in your experience with the app, or if you give positive constructive criticisms, questions, comments or suggestions will be highly appreciated. Also don't forget to mention the particular type of device that you are using.
