Thanks Joe, I hadn't realised the ATC transmitter is on Howth Head. How do you
check your coordinates and ASL on your phone? Is it a built-in IOS app such as
Maps, or did you download another program?
Thanks, E

Hi Eammon,
Thanks for getting back to me. I checked my coordinates on my phone and they
compared favorably with a friends device, I also checked a number of the
navigation apps and Google maps, they all gave my location at my home
address. With respect to your issue with a weak signal from Dublin ATC. The
transmitters are located on Howth head, which I think is about 500ft above
sea level.you can check your altitude on your phone, for example I am 50m
above sea level

Hi Joe,
I wonder do you have an option of using your air code as you're home point?
Incidentally, how did you check your latitude and longitude?
I wonder is there a way of checking your height above sea level?. Given I am
in Raheny along the coast, I imagine my elevation is not very high. That may
explain why signals from the airport are not particularly strong ;even
though I'm very near.
Forgive me killing two birds!

I followed your suggestions, and also checked Google maps, they all give my
correct location. I have checked my longitude and latitude, on my phone
and they are correct, as I already know my correct position

Joe,
This sounds as if the taxi app is not reading the GPS correctly.
Just in case there is a geographic glitch in the area, could you see how
accurate Soundscape is? Or, perhaps, blind square, or Lazarillo? Any of
these
will take a marker and you could see if that marker points accurately to
your
house.
Failing that, would it be useful to contact the app developer?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Subject: [fb-exchange] FREENOW taxi app
Hello all,
My issue is with the FREENOW taxi app. I had my home set up as my pick up
address, which came up automatically when I used the app from home,and I
think if elsewhere it displayed that position. Recently the problem is as
follows. I live in a small estate off the lower churchtown road,and whin I
use the app from home it gives the pickup address as 17 lower churchtown
road.my house number is number 17, the pickup address is about 600m away.
How can I resolve this issue
Joe
