  Probably.  The GPS (Garmin etrex) claims that under ideal 
conditions, it can attain 1 m accuracy, and velocity 
accuracy to within .1 knot.  (Elevation/altitude accuracy is 
another thing all together... We're at ~6248 ft. according 
to the USGS topo maps, but 6180 ft. according to the GPS, 
and I note the spec sheet doesn't even mention elevation 
accuracy.)

  The above quoted "waypoint" was taken just outside the 
roastery under open sky.  I don't recall that I looked to 
see what the accuracy was at the moment I marked it, but it 
was certainly better out there than it is in here.  Just 
now, sitting at the computer desk, the accuracy is remaining 
fairly constant betwen 14 ft. (>4 m) and 17 ft. (<6m).

  Why own a GPS?

      Fun, and exercise.
