If you are clever enough, and don't mind a bit of button pushing, a DME arc can be constructed with most models of older FMS's/GPS's, that are not in the data base, then use 'area nav' coupled to the autopilot, for quite accurate arc navigation..

And, yes, +/- 2nm is my understanding for the accuracy required, unless stated otherwise by OPS SPECS or the relevant civil aviation authority concerned.
