Does anyone know if the Deeper Pro + has a feature that tells you how far from the bank it is?

Thanks

Don't forget that any distance calculated will have a associated error of your phone and deeper..
What I'm trying to say the distance will be a guide but not a definitive answer.
Think it's a new feature as wasn't there when I used my deeper at the beginning of last year but was when I used it in October. So guess there was a software upgrade.

The app is horrendous on location and distances imho, I have had 60m with no extender - with the odd drop out. Over that I use an extender , this how ever is to a Iphone and you may get better range to an Android device.

I used to get 85m with my Samsung. If I raised it to head height. I'm lucky if I get 60 with my current Oppo.
I bought a range extender as it was just annoying.

But you have to have it at head height for over 50m what ever your doing imo.

One other thing to remember.
And this is with regard to the deepers new range feature.
Your phones position is used to calculate the distance between the units.
So it needs to have as good a view of the sky as possible to see as many satallies as possible
Technically it only needs four satallies but they have to be in the correct orientation.
To help this the more you see the greater you're chance of achieving it..
To help the deeper unit get a good position don't retrieve it to quickly.
Less rippels/waves helps as well.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
