Using your device’s integrated GPS means that you can tap and hold on the map pin to drag it around and get the utmost accuracy. You can also ensure absolute precision thanks to the interface which clearly displays your current longitude and latitude.

Once you’ve got the location as accurate as you want it to be, you’ll want to go back to the main rise and fall screen as this is where you’ll be able to see the timing information you’re after.
