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. Chuck Holst -----Original Message----- From: Michael Daly [SMTP:mikedaly_at_magma.ca] 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. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
