[QUOTE="getsmart, post: 131554, member: 3501"] You could not estimate range as people have mentioned with just a GPS. If your GPS had a subscription for radio (ground) correction and you had a total station (laser survey instrument) you could get sub-meter accuracy. We use this combo to survey and map abandoned mines for the US Forest Service. First problem is mountains can sometimes obscure radio correction frequency. Second more important problem as mentioned above....Much cheaper to just use laser range finder. [/QUOTE]
