You know, if you're not getting a corrected signal you could be off as much as 100 meters.

Hi: - I guess then it must be bad mapping since this is the suburbs and notdowntown with real tall buildings to bounce off, although there's lots of buildings. Also the roads it reports do not even intersect with the roadI'm on, though as I stated previously the two roads do run parallell to each other but a block or two apart. I'm gonna do some more testing by taking myn1000 with my braille note and see if I get the same results or not. I'lllet you know when I do, though this won't be until Monday or Tuesday when Ican do so. Thanks for the response..

This could be an issue of poor map data or GPS drift,which is caused from signals bouncing off of tall or very tall buildings.If it is something specific to this area and there are tall buildings then it could be an issue of GPS drift. But if it is something that is specific to this area and there aren't tall buildings then the issue could be poormapping data. I have never experienced the Sendero GPS reporting me to be nomore than 2 blocks at most off and that is in situations where multi-path and drift are at its worst in San Francisco with sky scrapers. Please provide us with more information about the situation so we can narrow down on what is happening.

I'm finding that the reciever is reachingto far out and is reporting streets several streets over instead of theactual streets being driven past. For example: here in the DC metro area ifI'm travelling down Rt. #270 (running parallell to Rt. #270 is Rt. #355,however, the street itself is several blocks over), so I'm on Rt. #270, the N1000 reads pois and cross street on Rt. #355, instead of what I'm actuallypassing on Rt. #270. Oh yes, and just a little trivia for everyone, Rt. #355 is a road that travels through Montgomery County from the district tothe frederick county line; going north to south, and although it's the sameroad, it name changes four (4) times depending on the portion of road you are on. The four different names starting at the district line are: (1.)wisconsin avenue, (2.) rockville pike, (3.) hungerford drive, (4.) frederickroad. So if there are any hints, tips, or tricks to narrow its scope of view, that would be smashing. Thanks.

Itis pretty darn sensitive. I would remind users that the number of satellites isn't the final word on the accuracy. If you are getting satellites inside or in an urban canyonsituation, the number of satellites might be high but the quality of signalwill be degraded. Always doublecheck the information if accuracy matters. Mike At 05:52 AM 4/24/2008, Wendy Slominsky wrote:Are you using this with PK or the like?

It was super neat because Sense Nav overwrote the route that had been automatically programmed into it before I went to the cell phone store. With the Holux m1000, I have had a reading of 8 satellites clear across the living room from the patio door.
