GPS switched S for N!

...but I have had several total sectional failures
in flight.

See, I used to own an open-cockpit biplane...

See, I used to own an open-cockpit biplane, and if you weren't very
careful about folding/unfolding them, the wind could catch them and
they were gone. I once lost 3 copies of the same sectional on the
same flight.

Yes, one time I thought it would be handy to put the airport
information on a Post-it note stuck to the sectional (which resides on
a kneeboard). I happened to be flying that day with the Cub's window
and door open. Fshooh! Gone in an eyeblink.

When I got home, I scanned out and out on the map, to find that my
waypoint was now located in the Andes on the Argentinian side of the
Chile-Argentina border. Still, the coordinates looked very familar. On
a hunch, I changed the S to an N, and behold! The waypoint moved back
to the seacoast of New Hampshire.

What happened?

Next time land and come visit (I live in chile, 100 miles frm the
Argentina border)
