Michel,



I am a GPS user amd  I just plotted some tracks from previous  GPS  data 

onto Google Earth

http://www.cfisher.com/gps    There is a link to next pictured at bottom of 

each page.



You can see that the GPS I use seems to be fairly accurate with the 

exception of over some larger bodies of water.

I think Kurt mentioned that if could be some reflection off the water or 

something ?



I find the altitudes pretty good over all.  I usuallly am within 50 feet on 

arrival at most airports or lakes. I have used several GPSs over the years 

and this Garmin 196 seem to work well  and good bang for the buck.



Just make sure you get all the firmware updates and  Jeppeson data in it 

once in a while so that you can utilize it the best. Learning curve on the 

GPS is lengthy until you figure out everything you can do with it.   Now you 

can get Wx and radar on the newer models with subscription.  But If you have 

a blackberry you can load that from a website as well.



Hope this is an attribute to all pilots.

Dave
