[QUOTE="Surveyor, post: 162708, member: 6898"] You can thank your ex president Slick Willie for the improvement in GPS precision. When GPS was primarily function of military equipment, the signal for civilian GPS units was intentionally degraded in order to prevent possible use in a threatening manner. Basically, it would take 30 minutes of static processing to get a position as accurate as you get now in 30 seconds. Bill signed the legislation to stop the signal degredation to public receivers. Its amazing what can be done now, with equipment capable of sub meter accuracy. We had a laser rangefinder with a clinometer and compass that plugged into the surveying GPS unit. While the GPS was fixing your position, you could shoot as many things as you want with the laser and it would plot their location. Pull up a real time map. Now that would put your hunt in perspective!! [/QUOTE]
