Low relative error in consumer-grade GPS units make themideal for measuring small-scale animal movement patterns

Creator:

Breed, Greg A. and Severns, Paul M.

Abstract:

Consumer-grade GPS units are a staple of modern field ecology, but the relatively large error radii reported by manufacturers (up to 10 m) ostensibly precludes their utility in measuring fine-scale movement of small animals such as insects. Here we demonstrate that for data collected at fine spatio-temporal scales, these devices...
