Why is Altitude a whole number?

It’s a great little app to connect t to your Trimble device to check status.

The Altitude is rounded to a whole number like 12m, while the Lat/Lon position is given with a precision of 0.0001 meters or 0.00000001 degrees

Please fix this, as it doesn’t make sense.

Also, it would be wonderful if this app could simply log a time series location file with all information displayed in the app into a CSV. That would be very useful for iOS, as almost no other apps can natively connect to the Trimble R series and log data.

Thanks.

There are Pros and Cons with the "Update"

Original review: I originally downloaded the app in July as we were getting ready to purchase a Trimble GPS . The app's UI was simple to navigate and much more user friendly (it was a five star app). Then after a couple months, we finely got our GPS device and the app's UI has changed. It is not as intuitative anymore.

Update: I do like that it saves the last GPS I connected to so I don't have to hit "connect" everytime I turn it on. There are definitely pros and cons. I just preferred the old app UI. Otherwise, the updates may be better than I initially though.

Update seems buggy.

Ever since the update I have been having trouble connecting to the unit on many occasions... had a black screen when I first downloaded and had to uninstall and reinstall the app.
