Dragonmaster13 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Everytime I go to one of my waypoints it is slightly different, is there any way to average the new location shown everytime I am there or am I stuck just moving my waypoint? Legend CX Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 If you are within 20' of the waypoint when you go back, you don't need to do anything. If you want you can just average them together. Since this site uses decimal minutes you can just averadge all your readings together. (55.555 + 55. 556 + 55.554)/3 = 55.555 and you are good. Quote
Dragonmaster13 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Darn, was hoping there was a hidden setting that does it without having to bus out paper and pen and possibly calculator. Quote
+WestWind Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I know on my 76CSx it has an 'average waypoint' feature, it is in the manual, i have not used it though. Check your manual.

+Cardinal Red Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 There is a Menu option to initially auto average the location coordinates. Still won't guarantee subsequent spot on accuracy. This is only consumer grade equipment. Close enough is all you get. Quote
+Red90 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 When you "mark" a new waypoint at the bottom of the screen should be a button labelled "Avg". Click on that to average. Hold the GPS still and high with the antenna level. Quote
