Here's the final instalment... After researching how GPSrs work, designing an experiment to assess which variable most affects the accuracy of coordinates calculated by a handheld GPSr and analyzing almost 2000 observations taken under a wide range of conditions, it was time to consider the implications of the results when it comes geocaching. Here's a …

Handheld GPS Receivers: Results From Experiment to Assess Which Variable Most Affects Coordinates Accuracy
This is the third instalment in a series about our Oldest GeoKid's grade 5 science fair project, undertaken when we were still relatively new to geocaching and had a keen interest in better understanding the optimal conditions for taking accurate coordinates for our geocache hides. Part 1 outlined the many variables he planned to evaluate. …
