My brother also said that my etrax Legend (or many other kinds of civ=
ilian GPS's) can actually get an accuracy to a couple feet In ideal condi=
tions. If you notice it will only tell you the accuracy is 10 or 11 feet=
. This is because of government regs. They like to think they have the =
best of everything and civilians can't get that good of technologies.
Has yours ever told you that you where 2.55 ft from a waypoint? Mine=
has and then you check the accuracy and it says 11 feet. This is becaus=
e you are not supposed to have better than 10 ft accuracy.
