+Andy and Robin Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I got 7 ft. accuracy on my Etrex Legend while crossing Utah the other day with WAAS enabled. Quote Link to comment
+leatherman Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I was receiving 3' at this cache. Thank God for WAAS! Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 My best for an extended period of time with my Legend was 9 feet, though I've seen it briefly as low as 7 feet, both without WAAS. Quote Link to comment
Kerry. Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Shouldn't that read "What's your best accuracy ESTIMATE figure" Cheers, Kerry. Quote Link to comment
+KerryG Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Can someone explain how to interpete the Accuracy rating, there is nothing in my eMap booklet about it. Quote Link to comment
+leatherman Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Shouldn't that read "What's your best accuracy ESTIMATE figure" Kerry. Blah, blah........ Quote Link to comment
Odwolda Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I had 2 feet once but wasn't geocaching...as a matter of fact, I was INSIDE. I was next to a window though but still... Quote Link to comment
Kerry. Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Shouldn't that read "What's your best accuracy ESTIMATE figure" Kerry. Blah, blah........ Yes another year, appears now no different to the previous as for a moment there (just for a moment) one might have expected to see the last of the 1 foot, 2 feet, 3 feet accuracy (er sorry 3 feet estimate) rubbish, no doens't appear so. But then of course then there's auto-averaging Cheers, Kerry. Quote Link to comment

The best way to use the "Accuracy Reading" is simply as a gauge for how your unit is doing on getting a good or not so good fix from the sats. Nothing more than that. Quote Link to comment
+KiltCacher Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Yes, very true. I've had my unit get 4' accuracy a few times. It was during a nice clear day, and when I checked the Sat. reception screen, all 12 were lit up to almost 100%. But on average, my best is about 6'-8'. Quote Link to comment
+GeckoGeek Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Yes, very true. I've had my unit get 4' accuracy a few times. It was during a nice clear day, and when I checked the Sat. reception screen, all 12 were lit up to almost 100%. But on average, my best is about 6'-8'. Which is pretty close to the limit of what you can do without adding extra digits to your GPS position. Quote Link to comment
