Hi J. D.  When this occurs, are you near a military base?  I have heard
that the military does something to degrade GPS signals in the vicinity
of military bases.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] 300 feet off 33 okay

Hello GPS Listers:

I am having an accuracy problem and wanted to know if it is unusual.

I am using the latest GPS software on a BN also with the latest
software.

I most all the time in my area of Central Florida, USA, find my GPS
identified location 100 to 350 feet from my real location.  
It would sure be nice if I within the range that the unit states I am
in.  The  HOLUX is working fine.  The BN usually finds a good signal.
It says, usually, about 28 feet accuracy.

Why is it so consistently so far off?
