I'm hoping someone out there will at some point be able to explain the apparent GPS glitches regarding where state borders show up on Garmin's MapSource software. My on-the-ground Map Points do not agree with the location for those borders in MapSource. For instance, MapSource shows the Wyoming/Utah border point where US Highway 191 crosses just east of Flaming Gorge at N41 00.718 W109 25.397. My on-the-ground map point, reading the border from my Garmin Colorado 400t at 80 ft. showed it at N41 00.718 W109 25.534, a difference of about .1 mile. That's a lot.
When I marked the border near the "notch" of Wyoming and Utah my on-ground reading was N41 00.519 W111 02.814 and MapSource shows the point at N41 00.553 W111 02.726, a difference of 206 feet north/south error and again, about .1 mile error east/west. So, any geocachers out there know what's going on here? I'll see if I can track this down myself but I would appreciate any help.
