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. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Just make SURE you sychronize the camera time to the GPS before you go out as the clocks in most cameras aren't all that accurate while that in the GPS is set by the atomic clock in the GPS satellite. Ah, one more reason for occasionally downloading pix from the camera vs. a card reader; some cameras auto synch to the time of the computer, which in the case of at least Macs running osX, themselves auto-synch to atomic clocks. Yes, my computer also autosynchs to the atomic clocks, and the Kodak dock will autoset the clock in the computer. However, when travelling across time zones, the clock will need to be manually set. |

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'. |
