Hi Jim,
I'll take a look at it to see what I can find out.
it just may be the inaccuracies of the commercial POIs  combined with
the m-1000.

Hi Chris, okay, here's a GPS replay from Clay Street going north
on San Pablo Ave.  I was walking on the west side of the street.
It stops at Carlson and San Pablo, Peets Coffee thus the name of
the replay file.  The user poi's are accurate but the commercial
ones say they are on the right when  the businesses are on the
left.  I marked a user Poi which you won't have because I just
did it.  It was at the front door of Alta Bates Medical Group
located at 500 San Pablo Ave.  It is probably a couple hundred
feet off from where the commercial poi is but my user poi is the
accurate one.  Jim

Hi,
could you send a replay the next time you walk through there?
Thanks

Hi, while walking home from the bus stop today, I noticed that

the

commercial poi's were on the wrong side of the street while the

user poi's

were correct.  I am using the Holux m-1000 and do get correct

speed and

headings so am wondering why this would occur?

Hi,
what gps receiver are you using?
I wouldn't mind betting that you're not using the holux m1000.
When you are able to, invest in this receiver and it will solve

this

problem.
It's the best piece of equipment I've bought this year.  It's

transformed

my gps system, making it an absolutely invaluable mobility aid.

I've not

had less than 8 sattellites so far, and am usually acquiring

10-11, and

sometimes 12.
also, I can now walk really slowly and still get a heading,

whereas before

I bought the m-1000, I couldn't get a heading no matter how fast

I walked.

Bear in mind, though, that I use a long cane, not a dog.
Regards, Richard.

Hi, record your Saturday walk as a gps replay and send it to
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to start the replay press space with q, then give it a filename

when

prompted.
to stop the replay press space with q when done.
Thanks
