Boaters run into this problem all the time (as it were). The GPS is more accurate than the chart. Not a problem when it comes to buoys, since NOAA uses GPS now when setting them in place, but a big problem when it comes to rocks. They were charted by optical means. -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com
