[QUOTE="Village, post: 54382, member: 1900"] I think you guys having trouble with your gps need to update or invest in something a little better. These days the surefire gps chips are not inhibited by cloud cover, in fact you can have eight octa's of cover and still be at a 3m accuracy. Same as satellite phones, rain, cloud cover doesn't matter your still good. Have a look at what your using, GPS today are really good. The units I have, all have lith-ion batteries and run for 56 hours, charge off the car or 240v. Your need to check that your settings are set to both WAAS/EGNOS to use the full spectrum of satellites available, and be sure your using WGS 84 as the datum and spheroid in the settings. Your sat reception should on any given day have locked onto anything up to 12-15 satellites, a minimum of 4 will give you an 8m accuracy. Check your gear Failing that I have a fool proof backup plan, I hold back the ATO check before I go out, those bastards manage to find me no matter where I am, if they haven't received it. Best blood hounds I have ever met. [/QUOTE]
