How accurate is your GPS?
I bought a Garmin 162 before last year and then had to buy an update for it at the end of last year that was supposed to make it more accurate.
Well, last week I ran it all week and it just plain sucks!
It was consistently off by 100 yards, give or take 10 yards. It was far more accurate before I had to buy the new disc with the upgrade. I had good strong reception, so that isn't the issue.
So, what's acceptable for your unit. I can see 20 yards....tops. I was out there wandering around like a tourist, and once I did find what I was looking for, it was no help keeping me where I wanted to be or following the contours.
