I spent several hours trying to find out why I started getting longitude number that were way off. Everything seemed to be working properly, but the tbolt was reporting longitude numbers way off from the surveyed position.
I thought that my attempts to feed it an accurate lunch had gotten the unit into some bogo-state. Did a power cycle and factory reset and new self survey. Still got bogo-longitude. Curse you John Harrison! Turns out I had the wrong tbolt connected... the surveyed point in the front yard has a very close latitude to the rooftop antenna, but off by around 70 feet in longitude. All them serial cables look alike. D'oh! ---------------------- An equally creative solution -- just move the antenna a few feet in whatever direction you need equal the value of the single precision number ;-) I can see your deck now - with an old CNC XYZ head and a GPS antenna... _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Find, add, and share the best celeb pics, right from Hotmail.
