A track I downloaded from GPS 12 to TOPO GPS showed me paddling though a head 
land with a 50 foot cliff. I tried a different Datum and it made it worse. 
The whole track seemed to be off one way or the other. Is it the Garmin or 
the TOPO maps or the Government induced error factor. Would a Nautical Chart 
program be more accurate for on the water tracks?
