+marife Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I left a Nuvi 750 and a Nuvi 500 (in driving mode) both sitting on the dashboard of my car pointed due south for 30 minutes with the car not moving. I monitored the "Skyview" screens of both to compare the accuracy and satellites. Both were using the same 12 satellites. The 750 was consistently at 11 feet accuracy while the 500 hung around was 24 feet. Does anyone have ideas as why the 750 was more accurate than the 500? Are the chip sets the same on both? This is sad results because I bought the 500 for geocaching and it so far is less accurate my 750 auto GPS. Disclaimer: this is not a very scientific comparison. Your "mileage" may vary.
