Kevin,
Please send me the route and I will have a good look at the route.  If you
could please send the saved route as an attachment to the below address or

Subject: [gps-talkusers] 000 miles of inaccuracy?

Dear GPS Listserv,

Earlier today, I was testing out a manual route at my high school 
campus.  I was able to get a fix for most of the areas that I 
needed, but I ran into a problem, when I marked my last waypoint, 
I couldn't get a fixed,  then I waited, I got a fix, but a poor 
fix with 1 satellite.  I went ahead and marked it, since it was a 
test.  After I finished marking the waypoints, I found that when 
I arrived at my final waypoint, which was the location I only 
received 1 satellite, it said "arrived near destination," but 
when I check the distance from my current position to the 
destination, with the letter d, it said destination 12 o'clock 
7000 miles.  I am not sure if that has something to do with me 
not receiving a fix, then receiving a terrible fix, then me still 
continuing to mark the waypoint.

I am sure it has nothing to do with the way I marked the points, 
as I have done this before successfully.

I hope that someone out there is able to answer to why I received 
an inaccuracy ready of over 7000 miles, if you are wanting to 
examine my manual route, please feel free to notify me, I will be 
delighted to share the manual route--especially if it will bring 
us one step closer to exactly what happened.
Kevin
