RE: [RC] [RC] gps again!! - Vicki Austin

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!   That would
not be good.  So how on earth do we REALLY know how
many miles anything is!!!   You know how the song
goes......."does anyone really know what time it is,
does anyone really care?"

I finally got a chance to try out my new "watch"

gps

system from Timex.  It was accarate to less than

1/2

mile in 20 miles.   Is this common for this type of
gps.   I tried a hand held one last year and it was
off by almost a mile in ten.

Anyway hoping it was not a fluke and will be trying

it

on several premeasured "with a car" rides before I
trust it to measure a trail. And then can ajust the
milage acordingly.


  Unless you have a car like mine that was off 1/10
of a mile.
