Very accurate GPS. We used it throughout France last year and it worked exceptionally well.

Hi, no, the GPS module will only give you an accurate location, it will not align the scope.

Gps works good, maps have depth of sme lakes. Bought naviautucs card for lakes in my area to be more accurate.

I would say it is fairly accurate. I compared it to my more expensive Radio Shack and the numbers are very comparable.

Yes. There is a basic base map in your GPS which will show you where you are.

The accuracy of the unit is 2.5m 2D rms, altitude is a little bit less accurate, typically around 3-5 meters. It will depend on the GPS signal quality and DOP numbers. You can use the UltiMate GPS app to determine the accuracy: press on the "i" button and it will come up with a screen that has DOP numbers and the accuracy that goes with them.Roger Koumans, Emprum LLC

this is a very accurate unit. you can buy detailed map grids from Garmin or get them free just google free downloads for Garmin 200. Bought one for my son who hikes in N.Y. and N.J. He downloads specific maps from google easily.

Not accurately. Your phone must have GPS capability for it to work. It bases it off of your cars weight, engine size and engine RPM, and your speed according to your phones GPS. Even with that information it still isn't very accurate. However it is a VERY awesome and handy device! I love it!

I would say it is fairly accurate. However, I don't really let my motorcycle battery get that low to really determine how accurate.

It's pretty good. It has the same problems under tree cover and in tunnels (!), but generally it claims to be accurate within 10 feet.

Steps taken is as accurate as any similar pedometer. As for distance traveled, it gives the average distance. When it's on bike mode it uses the phones GPS.

very inaccurate. you will get a different measurement every time with a wheel. Accuracy would be using a hand held gps and plot it on your computer.

Hi, If you have an Ipod Nano you can try the very cheap, in comparison with GPS, Nike+ Sportkit. Once you calibrate it, it is very accurate. All my runs (same route) about 8km only vary on +/- 100m.Hope that helps a little bit.

Yes, you need to know the GPS coordinates of your destination. There is a small arrow that appears on the screen indicating what direction the location is. I use this Garmin exclusively for fishing ocean wrecks and it has spot on accuracy.

can't compare to garmin as I have never used one but I am very happy with it. It is considered as accurate as any other.
