Original question asked on Jul 10, 2012, 6:58pm

Recently bought this unit, mainly for Caching... seems the caches are some 5 to 10 meters away from where my GPS is showing a ground zero. After using a eTrex Legend for the firs 388 caches, I understand that the cache will be at zero, but I am finding the accuracy of this unit mcuh less then my old Legend. I used to recalibrate the Legend every once in a while, I don't see that ability on this unit. Any suggestions?

The GPS module does not have a calibration. You may need to turn on WAAS to get down to 3m. Also try applying updates to make sure that you have the latest software. You can do so using the free program Garmin webupdater.
