look at your GPS receivers display, showing
"distance to destination". Please write down

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.

Min første Geocoin...yeah! Hvis jeg husker rigtig 🤭 var det ca. 9 meter til cache med min GPS-modtager.
Mange tak siger Madame Pomfrey

I say "thank you" to Mr.Clinton for turning off the selective availability! 😉 This made it possible to do this great hobby!
My GPS showed a measuring error of 14 meters to the cache. A normal aberration in the woods.
