Sort of True. Survey quality gps will give you repeatability - the offset will be consistent and the distance between two points over a few Km will be accurate. But the position wrt to a standard survey may be way off. Thus results (conventional survey or gps) are open to interpretation. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
