      Hi all!
      All of us may know the trouble with the GPS when it isn't exposed directly to the sky, so, I don't know if enclosing the Pytrack in an IP67 case would induce problems with the GPS signal. Has anyone tried it? It would be great to know your experience with this as I am planning to do that.
      Thank you!

      EDIT: I plan to use the Universal IP67 case.

        @ferfersan6 The GPS accuracy is largely effected by metal, high buildings, type of antenna used, etc. From the trials we conducted on IP67 cases, it do not seem to have any bearing on the accuracy
