[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 465396, member: 12692"] the Garmin GPSMAP64 series also have a Glonass Receiver (Russian GPS system, orbits more N-S over the poles) which helps in WA at least where not as many regualar GPS satellites are accessible. Both receivers work simultaneously in parallel. Theres around 6 GPS a lot of the time & i think 12 at best accessible from southern WA. It takes a good receiver to get the best out of this limit. Ive compared my phone to my Hema HN7, & the phone accuracy is noticeably less at 10-20m (somedays out past 30m), The HN7 at about 5-10m, & I reckon the Garmin gets down to less than 5m. I have now bought a GPS/Glonass receiver to plug into my laptop. [/QUOTE]
