Some of that might be due to where the person who created the point marked it. Intersections, buildings, and other points of interest are assigned particular coordinates. Depending on where the person who assigns a point coordinates is or where the software used to figure out the coordinates "thinks" they are, you can get things like you describe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JD Townsend" <1587@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello:
Many thanks for the responses. But I am still confused. I am not near a military base. The problem is not limited to street addresses, but to intersections as well. It is just odd that I can be an intersection, standing a few steps from the corner and the GPS tells me that I am 180 feet from the corner. THE same time the GPS tells me that I have good reception. 
Thank you again.

JD
