Gps shows you accuracy around a circle of the location...it doesn't "repeat" 
in the same place every time like loran does.  This normally puts you left, 
right, above or below the location depending on the satellite locations.  
Also, I'm not sure if the government has totally turned off selective 
availibility (S/A).  If they have cranked this back up to what it used to be 
that would make accuracy up to 100 meters in any direction 95% of the time.  
That would make the error you have.  Also, if you have DGPS (differential 
correction) make sure it is turned on. Down in Florida we have a "zone" where 
the gps doesn't work at all sometimes.   Depending on pinpoint nav with a gps 
can be very hazardous to your health...our domestic units aren't in the same 
class as smart bombs.
