Rob, Thanks, but you just gave me an answer that I didn't want to receive. Before buying a Trimble Scout ($800, certainly a few thousand less than a better one, but definitely not trivial), I asked a lot of people, in this forum, and in two other forums on CIS, and read messages in the Internet sci.geo.satellite-nav Newsgroup, as well as a couple individuals in the Bu of Mines who have used them for a few years and was basically told that these "cheap" units gave the same "accuracy" as any more expensive unit except for DGPS or expensive decoders. Now you tell me they don't, which is what I was beginning to believe from experience. The canyon problem probably is telling me to just plot the point on a map as I best can do standing there and use a ruler and the "Over and Up" feature of the Trimble to tell me what the lat/lon reading is! Wow, what an expensive calculator! Lanny
