Gerry,
Yes, the coffee has kicked in and I had egg-on-face for breakfast. The
map in QGIS looks just like the same as the aforementioned area when at
full extent view. Zoomed in, it works.
Error budget - Well, I am within 5 ft on backtracked trails. Can't
complain for working under a tree canopy.
I had the GPS unit on top of a 7 ft PVC pipe talking to my smartphone
over bluetooth. I just ran out of time to cover the whole place but the
proof of concept pans out.
Now its off to other work tasks.
73 from 807,
Richard, N6NKO

Gerry,
Good morning!
I realize that wholeheartedly, but to have this big of a
screwup....oh, wait, this is the Federal Government....
Aha! Your coffee kicked in? What hardware are you using for your
campground survey? I can tell you stories about those from several
years ago, when folks were trying to resolve objects (e.g., a picnic
table) that was smaller than their uncorrected L1 error budget...

I admit that one point does not make a trend but what I found was
eyeopening.
I wanted just Fond du Lac county in Wisconsin to use as a base map
for mapping project that I am working on ( a Boy Scout campground).
I pulled in my files into QGIS and then brought in
"fe_2007_55039_edges". I did not get Fond du Lac County but a huge
overview of north Illinois, Indiana and SE Michigan. OUCH!!!
I even went and downloaded a virgin fileset and got the same
results (see picture).

This is not good. I plan on sending on a comment to the Census Bureau.
So, let the user beware - YMMV.
Unfortunately, this warning has always been necessary with TIGER
files. They're not the best GIS data source. They're just
available and free.
