Squonkpups Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 The instruction manuals for both my Garmin 3 Plus and Eagle Explorer tell me that I must be moving at least 5 mph for an accurate reading. I notice that when in a car that when I stop the display which I have set to read course up can drift in increments pivoting around the position cursor whether on course, plot, map or compass mode even though the coordinates stay the same until the car moves again. Today while geohunting the first time it read zero distance it was 150 feet away from the second time it read zero distance while walking a triangle and jumped all over the place. The trail plotter on the walk back to the car was way off going well past the car opposite the heading I walked. How do I interpret this wandering display without running on foot at full steam for an accurate display? It's hard enough to find cashe's as it is without large position discrepencies.
