Selective Availability turned off
In the past, the civilian GPS-signal was degraded, and a more accurate Precise Positioning Service was available only to the United States military, its allies and a few others, mostly government users. However, on May 1, 2000, then US President Bill Clinton announced that this "Selective Availability" would be turned off, allowing all users to enjoy nearly the same level of access, with a precision of position determination of less than 20 meters.

We'll move the coin on soon. GPS said 6m from cache site, but we were probably standing around 4m away at the time.

Sorry I did not understand the instructions on the card. My GPS said 1m from target but I am sure that it not what was meant. How far was it from the car about 30 steps down, then under the Forth Road Bridge and 179 steps up. Then into a field with gorse bushes, perhaps 400m as the crow flies.
