Anyone had this issue with theirs?
Anyone with good (or bad) experiences of going to Garmin
Steve,
My old eTrex Legend packed in completely and Garmin fixed it ok under the
guarantee - pretty quick turn around from what I remember.
The Zoom out button is playing up on my newer one and I am trying to decide
what to do about it because it is well out of guarantee now - I may have to

The GPS in my car is a Garmin (I don't recall the exact model at the moment).
It appears to be much more accurate when the car is in motion than when the
car is stationary. If I power the GPS up with the car stationary, the

It is probably a fairly common GPS use issue as opposed to a Garmin issue
There are many reasons for this not least of which is that all
manufacturers lie about the accuracy of their units in real -
world use (as opposed to theoretical accuracy tolerances)
That is why surveyors and

actually no loss of altitude. Just 2 or 3 examples. A few days ago, while

The satellite error was at +- 5metres. Today morning, I came back
and marked another waypoint. This time the error was +-4 metres
but this waypoint is 150 metres off the earlier one. The car keys
were with me and I can vouch
Mike, thanks for the response. I would like to clarify that the 150 metres
error is a (x,y) distance error. There is an additional altitude error of
around 70 meters.

Mike, thanks for the response
No matter how good signal you have there is always a chance that the
given position is wrong without limitations. So when talking of a
satellite error of +-5 meters that actually means that with 95%
probability the error is +-5 meters. The possible error in the last 5%
is limitless, and my guess

Hi,
what formats can I put on the micro sd card for this device to read?
So far I've managed to put a gpx file (which I converted from osm data
using JOSM), in it.
I thought it would use the gpx file as a map. Can that be done?
