What other factors affect the accuracy of my unit?
Article
Other factors limiting the accuracy of GPS include but are not limited to atmospheric distortion and multi-path. Increased atmospheric distortion can be caused by periods of high solar flux/activity. Multi-path is the reception of two signals from the same satellite, one being the true signal and the other being the reflected signal from a building or a cliff.
