Charles, do you think the problem also has to do with speed of travel? James, I don't know how fast you walk but, if you were using a cane only, your speed may have been fairly slow . . .. (I may be throwing out possibilities here that are not the case, but I do have similar problems and am not sure yet whether this has a direct bearing.

Sounds good. Will do so, and your right about the commercial GPS units. I DIDN'T TAKE THAT IN TO CONSIDERATION. Take care.
