RE: [Paddlewise] Best GPS???

I suspect that the areas that didn't overlap were due to SA (induced error)
possibly exacerbated by tree cover or poor geometry caused by mountains,
etc.

I usually fly somewhere weekly and always take my GPS. I'm often amazed at
how close tracks from subsequent trips are, often only a few hundred feet
apart.

The ETAs shown on my GPS are usually within a minute of those given by the
pilot. Having the mapping built-in is neat because one can actually identify
all those lakes, rivermouths and cities. A few weeks ago I flew directly
over my old neighborhood in Virginia, but I didn't see it because it was
solid cloud cover. What else is there to do these days when you can't even
open a laptop!
