QField lets you average multiple GNSS fixes before a point is accepted
In Settings → Positioning, enable Averaged positioning, set min fixes (e.g., 15), then press-and-hold Add Vertex—QField stores the average.
FOSS4G 2025 Auckland recap: QField is production infrastructure now.
The pattern across deployments: QGIS Desktop → QField (offline) → QFieldCloud → Enterprise APIs
Not "can this work?" anymore. It's "how do we optimize this workflow?"
