Dear GPS Listserv,
Earlier today, I was testing out a manual route at my high school
campus. I was able to get a fix for most of the areas that I
needed, but I ran into a problem, when I marked my last waypoint,
I couldn't get a fixed, then I waited, I got a fix, but a poor
fix with 1 satellite. I went ahead and marked it, since it was a
test. After I finished marking the waypoints, I found that when
I arrived at my final waypoint, which was the location I only
received 1 satellite, it said "arrived near destination," but
when I check the distance from my current position to the
destination, with the letter d, it said destination 12 o'clock
7000 miles. I am not sure if that has something to do with me
not receiving a fix, then receiving a terrible fix, then me still
continuing to mark the waypoint.
I am sure it has nothing to do with the way I marked the points,
as I have done this before successfully.
I hope that someone out there is able to answer to why I received
an inaccuracy ready of over 7000 miles, if you are wanting to
examine my manual route, please feel free to notify me, I will be
delighted to share the manual route--especially if it will bring
us one step closer to exactly what happened.
Kevin
