Great story Criminal. Finally the press got it right!! (I wonder why..?)

 

I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.

Excellent story from the second smartest person in geocaching! But wait, this was written by a Chris Caserta, not you...how dare you take credit for someone's work!

-Technology...I have no idea what I would do without my GPSr, my TiVo, or my Computer with a DSL connection. I guess I would spend more time with my wife! icon_smile.gif

Good job, Criminal, although before SA was disabled one was lucky to get an accuracy of about 300 feet. Probably a typo on the editors part.

I'm sorry, but this can't qualify as a geocaching news item. The mandatory phrase "buried treasure" does not appear anywhere in it. It is also missing the phrase "high-tech treasure hunt".

 

Please correct these errors and re-submit.

 

Thank you.

One of the best I've seen! icon_biggrin.gif

 

Kept a copy of it and have passed it to a couple of people that just couldn't seem to get the idea of the game.

I have to add my kudos to a job well done. I think we should all do something similar, since it seems thats the only way the press will get it right!

 

Great article Criminal, well done.

I told my sister about this last week when word of the story fist popped onto the board here. Her husband is stationed at MAFB. Now they're trying to scrimp for a GPS. Good job!

Funny, the first thing I noticed was the big letters that said B S at the top right. icon_biggrin.gif Oh, thats B Section.

 

Funny how Criminal and BS seem to go together like that. icon_wink.gif

I was going to say maybe location had something to do with it, but you're not that far from me. I never got better than a few hundred feet accuracy in years prior to SA deactivation. I mostly used Garmins with a 12XL being the most recent at the time. I guess the III just had better reception.

When SA was turned on, the published standard was that 95% of the fixes would be accurate to within 100 meters. If you look at this plot from the US Space Command website, you can see that the maximum error during the 4 hour SA sample was about 80 meters (horizontal), and the average error was somewhere in the 20 to 40 meter range. Of course, individual fixes could be much better than that, and infrequently, much worse!

 

Loved the article though! Good stuff icon_cool.gif!
