Fernando,
Good to hear that you decided to ignore Ruby! Oxygen thief!
I have a rather old (i.e. 5 years!) Garmin GPS45 which I have used
all over Australia, Argentina, Chile and Antarctica. Out of curiosity
I have checked the clock against the time beerps on our national
radio. Spot on to the second. Of course, in modern terms, only nano
seconds seems to be acceptable, but for sundial work, my Garmin would
not cause any noticeable errors.
There is a couple of web GPS pages, and I am sure that you could find
out more there. Unfortunately I can't give you the URLs at the
moment, they are on my notebook, that I managed to kill. BTW, these
GPS web sites also have information on the Y2K problem and GPSs.
Seems that most of the "good" brands have no problem.
If anyone is interested in these URLs, post a message and I will see
if I can recover them from my notebook.
Cheers from cloudy Sydney
John
