I know there has been a lot of a discussion on GPS usage and I’ve been considering purchasing one. After veiewing polls earlier on brand preference I’ve decided go with the Garmin. My questions are:
Is the GPS really as accurate as they are made out to be as far as plotting, and or navigating? Can cloud cover and bad weather effect accuracy like it does with cell phone etc? Are they more accurate than Speedo like everyone claims? Maybe the Speedo runs a little on the fast side and maybe the GPS runs on the slow side. I understand that the GPS works from global satellites, but knowing how well my cell phone and a satellites TV works during storm or bad weather has made me wonder. Maybe the winter months are driving me insane with all these stupid questions.
If I do decide to buy one (UNLESS I WIN ONE) I will only really use it for navigation purposes, who care how fast I’m going. Going fast enough to make my eyes start watering so that I can see to go any faster.
Any and all reply’s appreciated.
Thanks
