Eric,
Actually the gpsr was probably not more accurate than those commonly used
but rather it would be considered more precise. But without accuracy the
precision is nearly meaningless. The 3 digits shown on most coordinates are
precise to about 6 feet, but their accuracy may be 20 feet or more. With 4
digits they would be precise to less than a foot but their accuracey may be
still be 20 feet or more.

- I did the Pray for the USA cache yesterday & noticed that the coords for the main cache had 4 digits after the decimal point rather than the typical 3. I've never seen this before. I would assume that this must be a very accurate gps. Any idea what kind it is? Thanks & God bless!
