George, I think that is different for different models. I know that last year when I went up and down the coast we had a new 12 channel Garmin. It would get us within about 30'. For megabucks you can get DGPS (differential) which is also tied in to a local ground transmitter that eliminates the error. It's real handy for getting from one place to another, that's for sure.
