CTX 3030 GPS Question

[Yeasty]

The brochure says "A GeoHunt is displayed on the Map screen and can be placed onto Google Maps".
Is it Google Maps or Google Earth that is used? GE has much more capability with GPS data than GMs.

I read that the CTX-3030 can keep track and show trails of where you have been.

But how accurate is the GPS on the CTX-3030.?

Is it the same as any other cheaper hobby GPS at a few feet off in accuracy or is it just inches off in accuracy like an expensive commercial Trimble GPS.?

Does anyone know.

Here is the GPS unit they are using, say it is within <1m

Thank you very much for that.! Less than 1 meter is not too bad but not good enough for tight gridding.

But tight enough to see a debris field Or to spot a point on google and send it to the detector. Then go out into the field later that day and find the almost exact spot

Yeasty - Good question and I wonder if both can accep the same input type data.

Wow, less than 1 meter accuracy. I heard 2and thought that was pretty good, less than 1 is great.
