Magellan Meri-plat Accuracy Issues

Recommended Posts

I've had some issues with my meri-plat since my trip out to NV/CA/AZ this spring, specifically coordinate reading accuracy.

 

I've noticed a difference both in finding and hiding caches...finding them seems to take a bit longer, and the GPS seems to be less accurate and more prone to compass swing than before...hiding them, I get comments from cachers who say that my coords were 100 feet off (where I formerly got complements on the extreme accuracy of my listings)...

 

I don't think that I'm doing anything different in hiding or seeking caches, but the meri-plat seems to work less well than it did before my trip...

  • has anyone else experienced something similar?
  • is this possible?
  • am I just getting bad at geocaching?
  • will initializing the machine help?
  • will reloading the system software help?

Thanks,
