I think this model is the most used GPSr for geocaching today so it must be a pretty good choices.

Its Symbian software on that phone so you dont have that many avalible options as Android or iPhone. I looked at the Nokia Ovi store and found at least 5 for free that you can test Ovi store

We had a discussion about it a while ago My link

Try this

Well then I´m pretty dumb because I got lots of DNF's

Take more waypoints att differrent times, compare in google maps etc.

i'd be interested in what the satellite status screen shows (push on the reception bars at the bottom of the main menu). using two different devices for this test may not be the best idea. it would be better to use one device only and enable/disable EGNOS on it, then take screenshots of the sat status screen before and after. make sure you give the GPS at least several minutes time to settle before starting the test. Ill be back as he said

the EPE should be working, should go down when accuracy increases and should go up when it decreases, but it's still not a guarantee and doesn't have to behave that way. it can only be trusted so much. did you actually update to the recent firmwares to eliminate any bugs there may have been? but it's really simple: if you think EGNOS has a negative effect, then don't use it. personally i won't believe it without seeing at least some screenshots demonstrating that though. Ok what type of information do you want in the screenshot. It is enough if the have two Garmins besides each other and takes screenshots and photos?

actually yes, it is. it's just an estimate, not a guarantee. you don't know how accurate the receiver is without performing proper real-world tests - the EPE is just a rough indicator about accuracy. personally i don't see why the EPE would go up with EGNOS reception, unless there's a bug in the firmware to cause this, in which case you should report it to garmin (assuming you have the most recent firmware). maybe you can post some screenshots that show this behavior? Mmmmm if I read the post above its indicates that the EPA calculation is working and trusted, why shouldent I trust it? I have the latest firmware and im not alone to have this problem in Sweden

I live in the south and I get quite good reception, but it doesn't show in the EPA calculation. There the normal mode always outperform WAAS/Egnos mode. And "all" I talk to has the same experience in Sweden. Is it wrong to trust the EPA calculation? Humbug or not I don't know? The accuracy is not improved, quite the opposite?

I am really confused in this subject http://www.gpsfix.net/oregon-dakota-improve-waas-beta/ Is WAAS/Egnos a humbug

Is this the EPE that is bigger with EGNOS? Or are you measuring the position error directly? SBAS gives corrections for increased accuracy, but it also (more importantly for Safety of Life applications, like flying) allows the receiver to get a better estimate of its error. This is most significant for the ionospheric corrections. In a strong or quickly changing ionospheric environment, a receiver will have a much better idea of how well it's correcting for the error using SBAS than using the GPS broadcast model. And the ionosphere tends to be more variable in higher latitudes, like Sweden. Could it be that your accuracy is better, even if the reported EPE is worse? It is the EPA that I trust, I haven't had a chance to stand on a known position and compare. Is it Sweden or is it Egnos, then I read some old threads in Swedish it seems that they had the same discussion in 2004 and 2007 are we a forgotten country then it comes to Egnos?

I don't know what sort of malfunction there might be with EGNOS. I can only say that WAAS improves the Oregon 450 accuracy here by a fair amount. Here, even with the best conditions, I can't ever see 3 meter EPE on either my Dakota 20 or Oregon 450 without WAAS. 4 meters is as good as it ever gets in "Normal" mode, and most often 5 meters and sometimes even more. With WAAS enabled and good skies, 3 meters is typical with WAAS. +1 - same situation in the UK. I dont know what you mean with "+1 -same situation in UK" Is it better accuracy when you enable WAAS/Egnos or is it the same problem in UK as in Sweden? Have UK WAAS or Egnos?

Ok that answer my question thank you! Do you have a up to date site about WAAS/Egnos aka Garmin? In Sweden we have a discussion about that the normal mode seems to be more accurate then the WAAS/Egnos mode. Do you have any comments about that? I have done tests with two Garmins (Dakota 20 and Oregon 450) side by side during a day and the normal mode "always" shows better numbers on accuracy (3 meters ->7 meters typically)

Beginning with April 1st, 2003 , the EGNOS or ESTB signal is transmitted in WAAS compatible data format (SBAS mode 0/2). Since that time, the receivers from Garmin are able to use the data. It should be repeated that Garmin receivers are only capable of doing WAAS/EGNOS corrections if they are set to normal mode. It is not enough to switch to WAAS-yes, you also have to got to normal mode. Being in enery-saving mode they do not evaluate the WAAS/EGNOS data. Unfortunately, normal mode does use significantly more power and thus greatly reduces the life time of your battery. The picture on the right shows the satellite screen of Garmins extrex vista with EGNOS correction applied. The letter “D” in the signal bar indicates that the data from this particulate satellite is being corrected by the EGNOS signal. With an accuracy of 2 meters (RMS) the positioning is quite good. http://www.kowoma.de/en/gps/waas_egnos.htm

Given that 's within the normal, margin of error a GPS the joke might be on them and they are placing it at the correct coordinates. WHITEDEER the hider has a Iphone http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...d8-62d8037ee46d

A report from Sweden, about 50 % off the updates on x50 that I know off (5//10) have resulted in an non function gps. The "good" part is that Garmin sends a new gps immediately without any questions. Good services on a bad thing.

Here is a compare between the 62s and Oregon 550. http://gpstracklog.com/2010/07/garmin-gpsm...oregon-450.html In my experience is Oregon the GPSr you should have then it involves geocaching, they also have topomaps for the hole world.

Thats caching at its best I had my shoulder dislocated 5 month ago, still hurts

Where -> and coordinates

No, there is only one on your route, but even this is too much. There are many mass graves in the woods but if we are talking about camps, the nerest to KL Stutthof was KL Soldau: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldau_concentration_camp Thank u for the info about the camps, but what about "must do" caches in northern Polen?

Hello geocaching friends! My family and I intend to take a road trip in northern Poland in a few weeks. The trip will start from Gdansk. After a few days we go on to northern Germany. I would like some tips on some good geocaching route / caches and places you just have to see. My daughter would like to visit a concentration camp, we vistited Stutthof many years ago, is there more death/conentrations camp i northern Polen. Best regards rogge88

My very first edit of a video so I tried a lot of functions Not so long but very impressive
