A sat is short for sattelite. (I'm sure you know but these are devices in orbit that use complex time keeping methods and signal measurements, combined with your receiver to calculate lots of things including your position in 3D, time and so on.
Sindero offers the M1000 from Hollux which from what I've read on this list is the only way to go (and only really supported device). You can buy them anywhere but I'd suggest Sindero as they also include a carrying case and again, you'll get the excelent support. The Sindero price is a bit higher than say an Amazon but again, you get the custom case and the support which is more than worth the delta in price.'

Thanks to all of you. I have read 3 answers to my question and it all sounds logical. I have come up with 2 mor questions from what you have said. G B, you said that I should stand still for a few seconds then check my sat. What is my SAT?Scott, you said that I am working with an older reciever. What would you recommend and can I get it locally or does it have to come from either Sendero or Humanware?I love the equipment and it is fun being a "Back seet driver."

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. statusand 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.

I purchased a usedmPower QT 18 with Sendero GPS. I have version 4.02 and the Holux GPSLIM236reciever. 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 isprobably not going to be very helpful. Any help will be appreciated.
