Quality display

A a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, allow the processor to perform a method of displaying an indication of quality of a geographic survey, the method comprising:

• displaying a survey grid corresponding to the geographic boundaries of a dynamically created survey area, wherein the displayed survey grid expands based on the geographic movement of survey participants;
• storing data representing the survey grid, cells of the survey grid, and a plurality of sub-cells into which each cell of the survey grid is divided;
• determining using ongoing positioning information for each participant engaged in the survey relative to each sub-cell within the cells, a numerical index corresponding to the quality of the survey in each cell of the survey grid;
• and
• adjusting a display attribute associated with each cell of the survey grid in accordance with the numerical index.

A system for displaying an indication of quality of a geographic survey, the system comprising:

• a data store comprising data representing the survey grid, cells of the survey grid, and a plurality of sub-cells into which each cell of the survey grid is divided;
• and
• an instruction execution platform including non-transitory computer program code, which when executed, causes the instruction execution platform to:
• display a survey grid corresponding to the geographic boundaries of a dynamically created survey area, wherein the displayed survey grid expands based on the geographic movement of survey participants;
• determine, using ongoing positioning information for each participant engaged in the survey relative to each sub-cell within the cells, a numerical index corresponding to the quality of the survey in each cell of the survey grid;
• and
• adjust a display attribute associated with each cell of the survey grid in accordance with the numerical index.

Apparatus for displaying an indication of quality of a geographic survey, the apparatus comprising:

• means for displaying a survey grid corresponding to the geographic boundaries of a dynamically created survey area, wherein the displayed survey grid expands based on the geographic movement of survey participants;
• means for storing data representing the survey grid, cells of the survey grid, and a plurality of sub-cells into which each cell of the survey grid is divided;
• means for determining, using ongoing positioning information for each participant engaged in the survey relative to each sub-cell within the cells, a numerical index corresponding to the quality of the survey in each cell of the survey grid;
• and
• means for adjusting, using a processor, a display attribute associated with each cell of the survey grid in accordance with the numerical index.
