Sufficient MoveBank columns include individual.local.identifier
(or tag.local.identifier
), timestamp
, location.long
and location.lat
, while the optional Movebank columns are eobs.horizontal.accuracy.estimate
and GPS.HDOP
.
In the future, we will be supporting more GPS and ARGOS columns, including speed, heading, further error classifications, etc. The GPS.HDOP
value requires the device's UERE
value to be translated into telemetry errors. The UERE
represents the RMS error given ideal satellite conditions. Therefore, if your device is purported to have an accuracy of 2-10 meters, then the UERE
is likely around 2 meters. Consult your device manual and manufacturer for a specific value or see uere
for UERE calibration.plot.telemetry
