Thread: Accuracy figure of horizontal position fix on GPSMAP 66 satellite screen?

I didn't miss anything, but it appears you may have.

ONLY the GPSMAP 65/s and GPSMAP 66sr are Multi-Band devices.

Your GPSMAP 66i is not a Multi-Band receiver.

Any testing you perform with the GPSMAP 66i provides zero reflection of the capabilities and performance of the GPSMAP 65/s and GPSMAP 66sr.

I do not get hung up on accuracy. I always follow the trail under my feet, not the line on the GPSr display. 8^)
