GPS Accuracy

Tocsin

Don't worry about me and eggs ....... we never stop learning.

It's on WGS 84, which AFAIK is what the instructions told me to use in the UK. It actually drifts about. The M20/M26 junction is spot on, but the M20 slowly moves away and near Maidstone has wondered about a mile and crossed the Railway ..... in respect to the crumb line.

Soooo ........ I think I have got it set OK it's just that the database isn't all it might be. Which I found pretty disappointing considering how accurate some are !!!

As far as the River goes. It had some points spot on .. others 1/2 mile away. The average was probably about 400 metres.

Big question (for when I've saved my pocket money) is a Garmin 196 database any better ?????????????
