[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 564282, member: 4386"] Etrex 12 was S 36 45 886. E 143 48 852. Etrex 30 was S 36 45 876. E 143 48 865 They are very close together (within metres) and simply reflect the accuracy of the instruments. If you try again tomorrow each instrument may give a very slightly different reading. Instruments often claim +/- 5 metres accuracy but in practice it can be as poor as +/- 15 m, although will APPEAR to be better on any one day. It can also depend on what map datum you are using as someone said - check both are using the same datum. [/QUOTE]
