Hey all,
Brand spankin' new to the Geo cache hunt. I've got a Garmin V and last night went with a group of friends on my first hunt.
At the first location, we got to the "parking area" just fine.
When on foot trying to zero in on the exact coordinates, my unit gave a reading quite different than my buddies.
My 0 foot mark was 187 feet off from his units dead on mark.
Accuracy was within 14 feet according to the unit.
We found the cache right near his mark.
At the second cache hunt mine was off 150 feet from his and the location.
So what gives?
I would'a figured for a higher priced unit, it'd at least be somewhat accurate.
150 feet off is the difference between a fun hike and an all night excursion!
This topic may have been covered, so sorry if so. But I'd like to hide a cache or two, but I'm hessitant to trust my unit.
Am I doing something wrong? Or should I return this particular unit?
Thanks in advance!
Ride'on,
~CRASH!~
