This afternoon while walking along an extended straight line in a flat open
area with clear view of everything above I looked down at my trail of
breadcrumbs on the track log and saw this weird spike in the track. It looks
like I suddenly jumped a long long way, and then returned. At the time the GPSr
was tracking a truckload of satellites and the accuracy was listed as 9 ft.
with WAAS. Reviewing the track right now it looks like the tele-transport event
lasted about as long as it took me to walk 50 feet. I know the GPSr was in the
in the clear in my hand in front of me the whole time. I've personally never
seen such an anomaly before....

We had a similar problem yesterday morning around 10:45 a.m. After entering
waypoints and hitting go to - it showed the distance at 2,000+ miles and the
second try showed 7,000 + . We re-entered the waypoints again and everything
worked. Strange happenings!!!!!

Yesterday afternoon as I was heading out towards Meinrods Curious Spot, my
GPS went nuts, and started showing my GOTO point as being anywhere from
close-by to several hundred miles away. This is the second time this has
happened to me. Does anyone know what causes this? My route says I went over
2446 miles in 30 minutes. Attached is a partial picture of my "route". After
things started working right, I was able to go back to the same area, without
any problems.
Any input would be appreciated and/or enjoyed.
Thanks, Strider
