[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 895350, member: 6705"] Apples and oranges. Yes, GPS with WAAS enabled will be accurate to within feet. No problem there. But, the problem is with the accuracy of the loaded features. What the Garmin reps were saying is the accuracy of the features in the map are only accurate to .5 miles. They are simply not positioned correctly everywhere. I'd be willing to bet that they are tied to fixed locations at regular intervals. The further you are from one of these location ties, the more error you will see. [/QUOTE]
