+randco Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have a Garmin 60CSx. We recently took a trip from Sarasota, FL to north Georgia then to Rutledge, GA then to Charleston, SC. We found that our GPS'r was sometimes off by 50' or more when we were not in Sarasota. I didn't think of it until now, but, should I have done the reset to New Location when I was in north GA and SC? I did calibrate the compass, but that didn't help. Here in Florida it seems that the posted coordinates and my GPS'r are pretty much in sync. I have never had this situation before, any ideas?

+mpilchfamily Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Not sure if FL to SC is a large enough distance for the unit to re sync with the sats but it could be. Did you give the unit a good cache to check the sky and update the sats available. Maybe reseting to a new location would have helped. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Did that trip last year, and had no problem with the GPS. I've got a Vista HCx. It seemed to give us good readings all the way from Charleston to St Augustine (after flying in from Joisey.) Quote Link to comment
