I have been running this setup:-
Garmin eTrex
Fugawi
Sony Clie

For the past week or so. The system works fine on the 1:250,000 scale and 1:1,000,000 scale and shows my position accuratly, well as accurate as you can get. I tried to plot my route home from work the other night, 6 miles or so, on to a 1:50,000 scale map extract. When I uploaded this to the PC I noticed that I was always about 15-20m away from the actual position on the map compared to the track. Is this beacause I had not
"uploaded" the map at 100% per cent scale in order to see more on the screen, or is there some kind of adjustment I can apply in order to improve this. I understand that GPS's are only accurate to about 20ft max but to be 20m away seems a bit extreme, especially if you were using the map for walking and wanted to know where you were!!!!

Are the eTrex and Fugawi set to use the same datum? i.e either both on WGS84 or both on OSGB.

Both will be using WGS84 so that shouldnt be the problem. I found this too when I was testing the app. Strangely I found that at different zoom levels the position becomes more or less accurate.
