RE: [ST] GPS error question (accuracy circle)



OK, its mentioned on page 40, but look at the pictures. Scale on the map
indicates |____| = 500 ft. The accuracy circle's diameter is about 500 ft! I
know theses things are much more accurate than that. Plus, the satellite
page usually indicates an accuracy of 15-20 ft. What gives?

>CS-  The displayed EPE is usually around 15-20 ft., but goes as high as 50
or
>CS-  more. The circle on the map page, however, is usually several hundred
feet
>CS-  in diameter. Unfortunately, the manual does not even mention the
circle.
>CS-  Does anyone know how to read it?

It is called the 'accuracy circle' page 39-40
