Centimetre-level positioning in an Android smartphone using GPS/GNSS

GPS/GNSS positioning is one of the most used smartphone features traced back to 1999. This feature has been utilised by billions of smartphone users in the last few decades, primarily for meter-level navigation purposes. In recent University of Otago research, we show that it is possible to achieve centimetre-level positioning precisions with a mass-market Android smartphone. This research finding opens up a potential for accurate smartphone positioning in various applications, such as for autonomous vehicles, earth deformation monitoring, car lane keeping, construction engineering, surveying, etc.

Is there an app that will incorporate this algorithm soon? Just went outside to locate property lines/corners and have varying 10-20 foot accuracy. Ya, not good enough....

To those asking which phone they used -- in the 2nd/3rd manuscripts (linked in description), they state full details, using a Google Pixel 4 and Samsung Galaxy S20.

This is groundbreaking. How can this feature be implemented in mobile phones?

Sir do you the app?.. Can we download it?
