[Pick the best set of coordinates when placing a cache?]

That's the ticket!

The main thing is to not be in an "all-fired" hurry to git'er done.

 

Some GPSr units will do the averaging for you. Not for sure, but I don't think the eTrex is one of them.

 

OK. I'll get my 3rd reading today and average them all out and plug in my answer. I want to get it planted on/ by 3/17. It's an Irish themed cache.

 

Thank you so muuuuuch!

When you say "average" are we talking about the averaging I learned in math class? As in, "The average of 4 + 5 + 9= 6?"

 

Thanks for all the replies- I just want to make sure I do it right!

 

And YES, helpful hints FTW.

Hi all,

I posted this in another thread this morning but I don't think the post went thru. So if this is a double-post I apologize in advance

 

I have a Garmin eTrex. When I run the coordinates for the cache I want to place thru Google, it comes up differently. I know GPS's can be effected by weather, the curvature of the Earth, and all kinds of fun junk. I also know that this GPS is a little off, as would seem to be the case with most of them.

 

So my thought was to approach said point from a number of different directions 3 times and to register those coordinates in my GPS. From there I would approach said future-cache using all 3 sets and enter the best set for the info when I register it.

 

Does this sound like a good way to do it?

Cheers
