Thursday, April 7, 2011. Message from Justin with GPS test results. Ran some more tests with my phone and the galaxy and also borrowed Kaan's for a test run too. The Xperia seems to be the most accurate and updates the most. The iphone is very close behind in accuracy although appears to update less frequently (still very good). The galaxy I think is a lost cause. both inaccurate and slow update time. Http:/ s1.pharmatopia.monash. Red and Yellow: Xperia. Blue and Aqua: Galaxy. Wednesday, April 6, 2011.
