I've experienced the same from time to time. Seems to happen sometimes with garmin devices... when you restart it, it's at the correct position again. > I'm new to GPSing, so I'm just surprised.

For eample when you're standing near a road and your garmin tells you something different, restart it. best regards _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
