Guy, That's a new one. I guess that implies a satellite can just go bonkers and send bad data until they shut it down and fix it (if possible). That could explain a 2 mile error. I hope to get back down there next spring. I'll take some readings when down there, hope to spend at least a day on that spot of ground. The locality is really interesting, if one is interested in unusual mineralogy and micros-durangite, hematite, topaz, cassiterite and reportedly another 55 or so minerals. Wish I was there now instead of here (although camping in the Thomas Range in the winter can often be a challenge!). Try spending News Years Eve out there! Lanny
