I bought a Garmin Etrex Legend and Garmin's Metroguide USA. The problem I am having is simple. The map seems to be off about .11 miles. The GPS says I live on a street that is .11 miles to the West of me. North and South seem okay. Is there a calibration of some kind I should do?



Is this a decent product for a newcomer enthusiast? I love riding my ATV and Fourwheeling in the mountains of Colorado. I though this would be a neat gadget to make it even funner.

I am using the default WGS 84. I tried WGS 72, and had the same results.
