Default Accuracy of GPS in Garmin 430/530

As the lawyers like to say in court "evidence not in the record." There
is no proof at all for the claim that some straightforward math calculations
in any GPS software is going to to double the cost of the GPS. What I was
describing doesn't require any new hardware, and it's just a matter of
calculating some accuracy numbers and representing them in the standard UI.

If it prevents one death that results in a multi-million dollar lawsuit, it
would payback the one man-month of work it might take to do those
calculations in software 100 fold or more.

And it could double the cost of the system for no useful
purpose.

I'm sure that if anybody wanted a custom made GPS unit,
Garmin or some other company would be happy to take your
million dollars and build you one or even two of them.
