Very true. Always frustrating when I get an email from a (new) cacher complaining because the posted coords for my cache were off 8' from his/her GPSr. Some people don't understand about the accuracy of GPS units or rely on them too much and completely miss the 'obvious' pile of rocks 10' away covering the cache.
That being said, my particular caching 'demon' happens to be giant rock piles, so I appreciate as much accuracy as I can get to help me find those types of hides. With the eXplorist, more often than not, I'm finding my GPSr's GZ much closer to the actual cache, so either it's more accurate or all that time rock-scrambling have finally started to pay off!
