Which GPS receiver is most accurate for the iPhone 4S?

AI Thread Summary
The accuracy of GPS on smartphones can be impressive, particularly under optimal conditions, with users reporting precision within a few feet. For instance, one user noted their phone's GPS accuracy measured at 12.1 feet while outdoors. This level of precision is beneficial for navigation, especially while driving. Various apps, such as "GPS Test" for Android, are available to monitor GPS accuracy, although some may have poor reviews. Comparisons between different devices, including iPhones and Android models, highlight varying performance levels in GPS accuracy.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
