The reason I mention this is because you may return to bang the same co-ords
as on the GPS and be up to 30 yards from what you wanted to find.



My experience is that accuracy is much better than this: a couple of
metres these days, in open country.


There is a great deal of confusion about the GPS accuracy. Most specs
say 50-300 feet, but mine can put you back to within a couple of FEET of
the starting place. The more sats. you can see, the better positioning
you get.
5 or 6 sats. will give you a positioning that is 'dead on'.
