I like being outdoors..

I think I figured out what was goin on. We had two different map datums; my friend was using WGS84 and I was using NAD27.

No, he said it was Magellan. Fluke makes test equipment, not GPS. I hope you're just messing around? If not because I am not sure were you from "fluke" is another term for "it just happened for some reason"

Ok ..so dont worry bout it on my part? Thanks for the info!

So it could just been a fluke?

Hello, first post here and just have a little question. I am new to geo caching, but have been using GPS's for years in other outdoor activaties and they have always seemed to to their job. Myself and friend were out looking for a local cache. When we got to the immediate area of the cache site there was a distint differance in the two models accuracy. I was using my Megallan Sportrax Map(lastest flash) and my friend was using his Explorist 400. His GPS put him appox 16 ft from the site while mine was bout 40-60ft. SO i guess my question is was just a signal issue or are new models that much more accurate? Thank
