The best I've seen it was last weekend, when I had 6' accuracy while out in the desert east of San Diego. I'm a big Garmin fan. Both GPS units I've owned were/are Garmins. I know a few people with Magellans and they're constantly complaining of accuracy issues and quality control (stress cracks in the housing, etc). To the original poster: Unless you can manage to get your hands on a military grade device, you're not likely to get sub-meter precision. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
RE: [WISPA] GPS Recievers
Dan, I like the Garmin product line. To get the best accuracy for a reasonable price look for devices that have WAAS. This is a secondary differential correction signal sent from Geostationary birds on each coast. It does not always work but for the price it gets you real close. You should be able to get accuracy to 20 feet or better in most situations.
