Thanks, Charles. I just thought my bn was haunted. I'm just sitting stationary on the porch and the thing is going off intermittently<grin>.

What is happening is that the gps thinks you are moving around even though you are stationary. That is why we tell you your estimated accuracy +- x number of feet and there for that means you can be + 30 feet ahead or - 30 feet behind, actually anywhere within a 30 feet radius circle could be your "real" location. The Sendero GPS software trys to hide most of this by figuring out what is drift and what is real movement but when all of a sudden the GPS receiver jumps 20 feet ahead with a velocity of 5 or 6 miles per hour we have to belive the GPS receiver and then you get these false readings you are experiencing. You definitely get more of these when inside a building with the more sensitive GPS receivers out now-a-days but it still can happen under idea circumstances. Charles.
