GPS Differential Accuracy
I recently went for a hill walk on Sliabh Mis and noticed on the way down that my e-trex GPS had got differential correction and accuracy to 3m! Three satellites 03, 15 and 16 had the letter "D" on the satellite strength bar in the advanced skyview page. Have any of you been aware of WAAS coverage being available in Ireland? Or is it the new European EGNOS Satellite in operation already?
Has anyone else been seeing this kind of accuracy for handheld GPS units? |

Excellent if introduceing new walkers reasonably well signed but was a little overgrown in spots and path really close to wire fencing at others. Apart from that ☺ |

Knockardakin: Bag it as part of the cliff walk |
TommyV 4 days ago.
I technically haven't bagged the summit of this hill as it wasn't listed on MV when I did the Ciiffs of Moher walk, but it would be a very small detour to bag it. I was no more than 50 meters from... |

Cooneen Hill: Very average |
