A Multi‐Scale Approach to Assessing Positioning Accuracy in High‐Density Urban Environments of Hong Kong

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examined GPS positioning accuracy in high‐density urban environments using Hong Kong as a representative case study. Through field measurements along 32 testing routes using three GPS devices, we evaluated GPS performance across diverse urban morphologies to assess associations between complex urban characteristics and positioning ...
