RE: [Paddlewise] GPS Errors Summary

That might explain why my GPS track from my last trip in Canada (Silver 
Islet to Rossport) doesn't always correlate with what the map shows. Most 
of the time it is a little south and east of where I remember us being, and 
so I thought it might be a matter of map calibration in OziExplorer -- 
except that in some places on the same map it is north of where I remember 
us being. 25 to 50 m mapping error would cover that discrepancy nicely.

That's a good point.  Canadian 1:50k topo maps are not stated as
being more accurate than 25 or 50m (can't remember which).  GPS is
better than that most of the time.
