Recommend an Android app for finding predefined points?

Thanks for the tip. I tried it out after getting Lefebure and mock location working, and the zoom-in is still limited so that the location marker is still about a meter wide. So the instrument is giving centimeter precision, but the marker on the map and the waypoint are too fat to be that precise.

Are there any apps that let the user zoom in so that the width of the screen is 3 m or less?

Hello Nelson,
We don’t know any app that allows you higher zoom levels.
These are often limited by the map service provider (Google Maps, OpenStreet, …) which are not designed for such high zoom levels.
With SW Maps you have the option to select the icon of your points, so if you choose a cross (X) its accuracy is much higher.
Also, when you select a point, SW Maps guides you towards the point and you can see exactly at which distance you are from it (in millimeters), so it should be ok.

Thanks for that suggestion. I will give that a try in the field.

Meanwhile, I have found Qfield may be a good (and affordable) solution:

I’m also going to try this app in the field.
