      I fixed my problem guys thanks for helping.. I also posted a question o the groundspeak forum also and got the answer i needed..

      I looked at my google maps on my phone and it was way off, so i updated the google maps and then checked my postion again and bingo it was on point. Then I opened the groundspeak caching app and checked the distance to the cache I placed by my house and bingo it was very close to what my computer said so im all go to cache thanks for the help everyone.. 😀 🙂 😆 😉

        Can anyone tell me how to calibrate the compass for either the C:geo or the Groundspeak caching app please..

        I checked how accurate both apps were and they were both off I place cache down the road from my house and I pulled that cache up on both apps and the groundspeak app sait it was .58 miles from my house with a accuracy of 2.33 miles theres no thats right my oregon 550 says its 250ft from my house. and the c:geo app says its .60 miles. well I guess that kinda god that there close but yeah. Even when I walked to the cache the distance didnt even moveit stayed the same on both apps. HELP.

        Im glad I dont have this problem with my blackberry trimble app I love that app

        All 3 GPS units I have (I think), phone included whether I’m in an app or not, prompt me to wave it in a figure 8 pattern for a few passes with my arm extended. This has worked every time and if I’m having accuracy issues I give it a quick wave as well and let it settle back down.

          I think theres a problem with the phone it self now when I turn the gps on it says im far away from my house. I have tried both caching apps and they say the same thing now I just have to prove it to sprint. ANY IDEAS

            Do you have to do this when you have the compass up or when can you do this. I dont have this problem with my blackberry Trimble app
