I have a Garmin that does not have waypoint averaging. Is there any way that we can average waypoints outside of the GPS? Is there a website with a calculator? Is there a formula
When you say waypoint average, do you mean taking afew waypoints and averaging the location so that the waypoint is more accurate?
To do that I just take the .xxx, add them together, and divided by the number of waypoints you added together. IE:
if my waypoint is 43 24.434, 43 24.439 &
43 24.441, then my average waypoint is 434+439+441 divided by 3 = 438.So my latitude waypoint is 43 24.438!
Make sense?
Yes. That makes perfect sense. I didn’t know if there was anything more complicated than that to it. Thanks a lot!
When I create a cache, I use my GPSR’s waypoint averaging feature to get the coords as accurate as possible. However, the owner’s manual says WA is effective only if you conduct it for 1 hour or more! I’ve never had that much time or patience.
