Mike,
That was the only reasonable guess, I was able to make. I find
it odd that it still gets me within the vicinity, or right at the
destination, despite the zero zero latitude/longitude.

Kevin,
Your guess as to the problem is a good one. A zero zero lat/lonwould be around 7000 miles away. With one satellite, there really wasn't a proper fix.

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.Earlier today, I was testing out a manual route at my high school
I am sure it has nothing to do with the way I marked the points,
as I have done this before successfully.
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.I hope that someone out there is able to answer to why I received
