  • What do you consider "high accuracy"? RMS will change based on the day, weather, location, etc. Consumer grade GPS is usually capable of 1-5 meter accuracy in good conditions. Sub-meter not so much. Not sure how you would transfer your data to ArcPad. Depends on what device you have ArcPad on.

you shouldn't expect high accuracy from a handheld GPS. It has 3 meters error approximately. It can be linked to arcpad. Accuracy definition depends upon your application.
