[Talk-ca] Primacy of GPS Traces (was Re: Internal CanVec conflicts)

2012-11-15 Thread Tom Taylor
As a geocacher, I'm unhappily aware that different brands of GPS give different results, with differences in the order of 10 meters for an individual point. I suppose a track should be better, since there is an internal consistency check, though not if the difference is due to systemic causes.
