Most GPSs are typically accurate to 50 feet under normal conditions. Also,
you need to be in an area where they are broadcasting the DGPS signal.

Subject:	[Paddlewise] GPS selective availability

Hi Folks,

My memory vaguely recalls some discussion regarding selective availability
(the scrambling of signals) being turned off in the not so distant future.
Is this true, or are we stuck with differential GPS if we want accuracy?
Thanks,
Kevin

ps. Are there any handheld D-GPS systems suitable for kayaking?
