How accurate is the Sureshotgps?
All Sureshot professionally mapped courses use a highly sophisticated and accurate DGPS receiver to map the course and hazard points. The accuracy obtained in this mapping process is typically 10 to 20cm. The Sureshotgps uses the latest in GPS technology to obtain the best possible accuracy under all conditions. Together with the highly accurate mapping of the courses the typical error is in the order of 1 to 3m. However, there are a number of circumstances that can increase the error. If the Sureshotgps does not have a clear view of the sky then accuracy can be degraded. Also there are rare occasions when there is a ‘bad’ alignment of the GPS satellites. This can also reduce accuracy for a short period of time. In this circumstance, accuracy can degrade by a few metres. So for best possible results, make sure that the Sureshotgps has an unrestricted view of the sky and that the user takes out an annual subscription to enable access to the Sureshot professionally mapped courses.
