Has anyone ever run a curiosity check... say 6 people approach a cache with
their GPSrs.. 2 Magellan, 2 Garmin, 2 assorted... all different models...all
with identical coordinates, same day/same time.
Are there significant margins of error between a) different models/ same
manufacturer; b) different manufacturers at a time when weather/ satellite
reception/ foliage/ sunspot activity is identical and can be discounted as an
accuracy factor?? Which brands/models fare best?
