Frequently Asked Questions

What is the relation between plants and trees?
Trees are a kind of plant. In botany, a tree is defined as a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves.
The accuracy of the saved locations varies?

The error in measuring a location can vary a lot. PlantProxy shows an indication while adding a new item or observation. This error can be up to 20 - 30 meters. Below 10 meters is a good value. Less than 5 meters is only possible with specialized equipment.

To improve the accuracy of measuring the location:

  • A high end mobile supports several satalite position systems.
  • Staying in the same spot with the mobile in the open will allow for more measurements in time, resulting in a smaller error.
  • An open sky makes it more easy for the mobile to ‘see’ more satellites which results in a smaller error.
  • Cm level accuracy is possible with professional equipment, see for example https://www.ardusimple.com/professional-sets/
