John,

You will have a little variation in the point of intrest.
The best thing to do is when you get to the spot you wish to make a p o I,
is to stand at the spot for 10 to 15 seconds and then check your sat. status
and then mark the p o i. this gives the system a better chance of more
difined position of where you wish to make the p o i.

Note;  remember there is a little veration in the fix of a G P S. it will
put real close to the spot but not rite on top of it. This is when you use
your great mobility skills for that last 15 to 20 feet or so, and put
yourself rite on top of the position.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Greetings and a question

Greetings,  I am John Harden in Daytona Beach Florida.  I purchased a used
mPower QT 18 with Sendero GPS.  I have version 4.02 and the Holux GPSLIM236
reciever.

Now, this is a strange thing.  When I am standing still and create a 
usert point of interest I am told that the point that I just 
created is somewhere else.  Fore instance, I am told that the 
point that I just created is 25 feet south.  If I haven't moved 
why is the point somewhere away from where I am?

I have marked all the gates at our bus transfer station.  While standing at
gate N3 the GPS announced gates S4 and S7.  S4 is not too far away but S7 is
probably 200 feet down the platform and on the other side.  This project is
probably not going to be very helpful.  Any help will be appreciated.

John
