When collecting a data point with "CreateYours" software, the process typically takes a few seconds. Does slight movement of the survey pole affect accuracy?

This depends on the “Smooth” (Average GPS Count) setting and the IMU:
•If Average GPS Count is set to 5, the device takes five consecutive measurements and averages them for greater accuracy.
•With the IMU enabled, moving the survey pole during the circular progress phase may slightly impact accuracy but remains within an allowable error of <2 cm.
•If the IMU is off, movement during this phase can cause greater deviation among the five collected coordinates, leading to a less accurate averaged result.
For best accuracy, I recommend keeping the pole level while collecting data or enabling the IMU to minimize errors.
