Have a Etrex Vista HCx with GB Topo maps which is used as a general GPS but mainly for geotagging my pics. Typically in the UK (in fairly open area) I can be at 200ft zoom and the circle that shows +- of error is very small (about the size of the chewable end of a bic pen if not a tad smaller). In Italy and France (cote de azur and the Italian Riviera) last year the circle was alot bigger and typically nearly the full width of the screen.
Going back soon so can anyone explain this?

Is it because I had no maps, can't see why though!!
EGNOS was enabled when I arrived, but turned that off which made no difference.

The geotag results were ok, but felt in very open areas they were not anywhere near as accurate as in the same scenario as the UK.

Any thoughts on this appreciated ;-)
