PenMap Staking Accuracy Live versus As-Staked Point Accuracy

  • 1.  PenMap Staking Accuracy Live versus As-Staked Point Accuracy

    Hello,

    I have passed this along to the product manager but I wanted to see if folks in the community had an answer. When staking a point in PenMap, no matter what hardware or correction service used, the accuracy for XY (top of screen in stakeout) and Z (left side of screen) is significantly worse than an as-staked shot. This is not necessarily due to averaging the as-staked shot either. Even if you take a single-epoch shot, your as-staked shot is significantly better. I am assuming that the as-staked shot is the true difference between your position and the point being staked but wanted to confirm. Lastly, can we get an update/bug fix that shows more accurate deltas that closer resemble the as-staked results.

    Hello Zach,

    thanks for the detailed description about your finding on the stakeout feature.
    We will have a look into the stakeout feature and try to reproduce the described behavior.
    I will come back to you.

    Best Regards
    Thomas

    Thomas,

    What is the word on this? I have several customers asking about this.

    Hi Zach,

    we have identified a units mismatch between "meters" and "feet" for distance units.
    If you are using "feet", the distance value on the stakeout dialog is also "feet".
    But the values on the "Outside Limits" dialog, which may appear when you accept the stakeout, are always in meters.
    This was wrong and we have fixed that end of last week, so that every value is in "feet"
    We will try to release the change with a new version this week.

    Is that what you saw too?

    We have rechecked all other values during the stakeout process.
    Please let me know if you have seen something different.

    Thanks
    Thomas

    This makes sense. Whew! I look forward to the next release that fixes this for feet. :)
