Russ,
I am intrigued by the accuracy you say you get with your GPS. Would
you please tell me what the make, model and so on is for your unit.
Why did you buy this one instead of another? Can you upload and
download data (way points/lat-log etc.) from your PC?
Any comments, advice or experience anyone else wants to share would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Russell Lahti

Before you buy... before you let that salesman sell you a unit... Open the
box of closest competitors you like and read their instructions and warranty.
Pay special attention to screen displays, navigation features, ease of use...
Can you understand the instructions?
All units using 10 - 12 sats have the same averaged accuracy + or - 30 meters
or so... Although, they all would like you to believe they are 100%
accurate.... down to an inch...
Good luck
