MarkO Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I can't believe you guys are arguing over a few feet. If you hover over a house on Google Earth, you'll usually be within a few feet (assuming you have buildings turned off). Non-survey grade GPS can be off vertically by quite a bit. Plus, most weather stations are elevated 10m, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yet the GPS devices all are much higher than that. Interesting Oh and I live here I'm not getting into what elevation you live at only to say the topo-maps these days are dead on accurate and I'd take that over a GPS that probably has a range of +/- 50-100ft at least.

Ahh you beat me to it.The maps will be much more accurate than say a phone or Garmin's GPS. If a map says 960ft but a phone says 1,005ft or whatever, go with the map every time.
