Group A: vertical position

Note Master 23-07-2026

This group tests how GPS accuracy changes with height: basement, ground floor, upper floors and rooftops.

Each session has 12 planned stops (below). After those, stops 13 to 16 are free: the participant picks any four places and stays at least 10 minutes at each.

Inside = inside a building. 2F-4F = second to fourth floor. Duration = the minimum time to stay.
