[gps-talkusers] route discrepancy

Hi, listers,

I created a test route which was a straight line going from my apartment to
where I work only two blocks.  When I was standing right in front of my
workplace the gps said it was behind 306 feet.  Now I understand gps is not
pinpoint accurate but 306 feet is a football field long.

However, when I just set the destination back to my apartment and set the
multiple announcement to destination, the gps nailed it, telling me I was 25
feet away from where I live.  That was impressive.

But my question is, why such a huge discrepancy between arriving at the
destination at the end of an automatically created route and just plugging
in a destination?

I am still using version 2 of the software.  I plan to upgrade shortly.

Is the destination discrepancy a known issue in version 2?

Thanks
Allen
