I don't believethere are any intentional errors built in, just that the accuracy is not as fine. However, that has now been overcome through the advent of differential GPS units which compensate for the downgraded accuracy factor. Of course, they cost more than ordinary GPS but can be expected to fall in price fairly rapidly as with most other electronic goods. * S2S Toronto, Ontario (416) 975-1547 --- WM v3.11/93-0359 * Origin: Ship to Shore, Vancouver,BC [604]540-9596 (1:153/7064)
