Quality display
First Claim
1. 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 a processing device and 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, using the processing device, a display attribute associated with each cell of the survey grid in accordance with the numerical index.

Abstract
A quality display is disclosed. Embodiments of the invention provide for the display of an indication of quality of a geographic survey. In some example embodiments, a survey grid corresponding to the geographic boundaries of a dynamically created survey area is displayed, where the displayed survey grid expands based on the geographic movement of survey participants. In additional embodiments, 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 is stored. In other embodiments, a numerical index corresponding to the quality of the survey in each cell of the survey grid is determined based on positioning information. In still other embodiments, a display attribute associated with each cell of the survey grid is adjusted in accordance with the numerical index.
