[gps-talkusers] Re: The M1000 & wayfinder access

You know, if you're not getting a corrected signal you could be off as much as 100 meters.

Hi: - I guess then it must be bad mapping since this is the suburbs and not 
downtown with real tall buildings to bounce off, although there's lots of
buildings.  Also the roads it reports do not even intersect with the road
I'm on, though as I stated previously the two roads do run parallell to each other but a block or two apart. I'm gonna do some more testing by taking my 
n1000 with my braille note and see if I get the same results or not.  I'll
let you know when I do, though this won't be until Monday or Tuesday when I 
can do so.  Thanks for the response..

Kim,

Is  this issue of WayFinder Access reporting you as being  several blocks
from where you are specific to this area or is it something that happens to 
a greater extent? This could be an issue of poor map data or GPS drift,
which is caused from signals bouncing off of tall or very tall buildings. 
If it is something specific to this area and there are tall buildings then
it could be an issue of GPS drift. But if it is something that is specific
to this area and there aren't tall buildings then the issue could be poor
mapping data. I have never experienced the Sendero GPS reporting me to be no 
more than 2 blocks at most off and that is in situations where multi-path
and drift are at its worst in San Francisco with sky scrapers.

Please provide us with more  information about the situation so we can
narrow down on what is happening.

Kevin

Hi: - When using the N1000 with wayfinder access is there any way to adjust the reciever's viewing distance. I'm finding that the reciever is reaching 
to far out and is reporting streets several streets over instead of the
actual streets being driven past. For example: here in the DC metro area if 
I'm travelling down Rt. #270 (running parallell to Rt. #270 is Rt. #355,
however, the street itself is several blocks over), so I'm on Rt. #270, the N1000 reads pois and cross street on Rt. #355, instead of what I'm actually 
passing on Rt. #270.  Oh yes, and just a little trivia for everyone, Rt.
#355 is a road that travels through Montgomery County from the district to
the frederick county line; going north to south, and although it's the same 
road, it name changes four (4) times depending on the portion of road you
are on.  The four different names starting at the district line are: (1.)
wisconsin avenue, (2.) rockville pike, (3.) hungerford drive, (4.) frederick 
road.  So if there are any hints, tips, or tricks to narrow its scope of
view, that would be smashing. Thanks.

The receiver would perform the same no matter which PDA you used it with. It 
is pretty darn sensitive.

I would remind users that the number of satellites isn't the final word on
the accuracy. If you are getting satellites inside or in an urban canyon
situation, the number of satellites might be high but the quality of signal 
will be degraded. Always doublecheck the information if accuracy matters.

Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:06:32 -0700

Usually when I use a receiver in the car, I leave it on the strap,
however yesterday, I was using a Voice Sense with Sense Nav and did
have the receiver up against the car window. It was super neat because
Sense Nav overwrote the route that had been automatically programmed
into it before I went to the cell phone store.
With the Holux m1000, I have had a reading of 8 satellites clear
across the living room from the patio door.
