    Ok good posts
    Just to let you know why am not worried about Accuracy, for a start I do Prospecting looking for Gold/rocks & minerals as a hobby, I like to go out bush in Western Australia and look at my own country, have worked over seas but never done a Holiday trip. "why" anyway I have been mapping since 2000 and have converted all sort of files into geo co-ordinated maps and use them to go where I want to be. "That's what we want isn't it ?" so while I doing my mapping I use what ever co-ord system is avail on the software. No the Devices I use are older than GDA 2020 so hey not worried.
    First device is:

    013

    I have 2 of these the latest software is V2.14 no further updates " so they are WG84"

    I also have one these:
    This device at the time was one one the series "Before In-car NAVS where introduce to cars."
    So I was able to get My M8's in the area of interest better.

    I used OziExploerCE for this and have used it since Beta version.
    Only last year I update to a Tablet and a new phone to run a program called Trilobite Solutions which brings all my data into 1 program and I have been assisting the Developer with update to the program.

    OK, so I think I hear you get accuracy of 100m at 5% confidence...and still find gold. If you can send some as proof I'm happy to accept anything

    Interesting app, it will even advise you verbally if you start driving over "Walgoo monzogranite" (not to be confused with "Proterozoic low grade metamorphics") but I'm not sure how that's going to help on the way to the pub....
