Cellphone GPS Accuracy in Urban and Rural Areas

Our cellphone accuracy work in 2018-2019 resulted in a paper that has been cited over 200 times already, according to Google Scholar. We are expanding this work to include rural landscapes (some parts of the Whitehall Forest GPS test site), and we are exploring differences amongst devices, time of day, Wi-Fi availability, and other aspects that may affect positional accuracy when using a cellphone.
