> 1. What part of the world were you in? If it's a "hotspot," might the US military, who run the GPS system, be scrambling the signals available to civilian GPS so as not to assist their opponents? Far from hotspots (Baja), and I can tell you even more - I noticed this error for this particular worldmap area, planning and marking waypoints, prior to flying there from Canada. > 2. Could you or someone else have accidently reset the map datumn in your unit? That's effectly resetting the zero points for the x any axes or lat and long, and might account for the weirdness, especially if a "custom user" datumn were entered. Well, it returned back to normal after a couple of days, without my interference. I confess, I touched "map datum" settings trying to eliminate the error AFTER the error began to annoy me, (changed it from US to Mex) - which was one of my blind and unnecessary actions :-), but didn't notice any changes. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
