My house moves occasionally 50-100 metres towards Toronto. Check the error on several days. How do you determine your exact latitude and longitude? I find that the resolution of the topographic maps is actually less than GPS. What GPS do you use? I have Garmin 45. Mike Koblic, Quesnel BC - nowhere near Toronto!
