    Signal Strength in Urban Areas

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Hey everyone!

     

    I'm a newbie cacher (I now have 57 finds under my belt) from Northern Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C. In and around me are many, many urban caches, however, there are also a great deal of tall buildings.

     

    I currently use a Garmin E-trex Legend which I know is a lower-end model. Here is my question; will I obtain more accurate readings in and around tall buildings if I upgrade to a better model? I get so much signal bounce and horribly inaccurate readings in urban situations and it's driving me nuts not being able to find these types of caches.

     

    If upgrading won't help, can you offer any hints or tricks in finding urban caches?

     

    Thanks for your help!
