Subject: GPS Issue

Hi guys-

I was wondering if anyone has/had issues with the accuracy of their GPS as far as the cursor position when traveling on the water? I run a LCX-27/LMS 520 with a 3000 puck & a Navionics chip(its not accurcate with the map on the unit either). IT used to be right on all the time but within the last year I noticed the accuracy is not what it used to be. If I'm in the middle of a channel/close to shore the icon is positioned on the shore & the distance ranges each time sometimes as much as 200-300 feet away. Is this a problem with the government making the GPS less accurate? Could it be that there are not enough satellites locked in(usually most are locked on but there are a couple still available) or is that the 3000 puck outdated & time to purchase the 4000? This has got me wondering now when I punch in an Icon how far I really am away from it when I return? TJ any thoughts?? Thanks in advance for any/all replies.
