Default GPS

Is GPS really as good as it
sounds or are there things you don't like about it?


With all brands, have a backup plan for the day. You never know when the
satellites will stop cooperating with your unit. It is especially frustrating
when doing a large, complicated traverse to have the thing stop taking points
when you are almost done. Even the expensive Trimbles with software predicting
prime satellite reception seems mostly fiction.
