[RC] Newer GPSs and accuracy - Tx Trigger

I have the same GPS, and we have used it to mark mileage markers on the
local trail system. We would ride the trail a few time, and hang a ribbon
each time we hit a mile. We found that even after riding the trail in
different conditions, clouds, no clouds, winter with little foliage on
trees, and summer with lots of tree cover, the GPS was really close each
time to previous marker ribbons. Maybe off by 50' or so sometimes???  I'd
trust it to be accurate enough to give the mileage to the riders as such,
even if this is a NATRC ride, where we give mileage points along the way.
