Using my Garmin 182C that always has the "GPS accuracy" displayed, I find
that while the accuracy is ~20', that 2 recorded tracks into a narrow harbor
entrance may be 200' different. Then there are the charts: these are made
before the current generation of GPS accuracy. Always use multiple sources
of info.
