Some people saying co-ords not correct so look at pictures if you carnt find. IF you do come across this please take the co-ord you think it is and post here we can compare if others disagree to much I will locate a second gps unit and test. My gps says its correct I have been on two different days both identical. there are large trees around so that could be the issue
