You want less than 4Mtr accuracy good luck M8 , you can go buy an Surveyors GPS system which is more accurate but is not a Public device. "Come on" the GPS system is still military base. so ya think a public based system is going to have a SA accuracy of a Foot "300mm" humm. not likely. But we all hope.
Now that said, if you place a flag at x on the beach then place another at Y , Z.
And it is at 4 Mtr SA so you do your stuff and finish up and is still 4Mt SA so what has changed NOTHING so this is what we have to be happy with M8.
4 meters is a good SA coz if it's short I fall down a Big Hole out in the Gold Fields.
So be grateful the US gives you 4 Mtr accuracy.
Hummmmmm

Thank you both for your informative answers! They have clued me in a little.
And Thank you for the welcome to the forum!
What does SA stand for? Google told me Selective Availability? Is that right?
What would you say is the best consumer available GPS plotting device with the highest accuracy on the market?
