Be careful using a GPS unit for time. Mine lags about 1-2 from true time. I attribute this to the GPS unit..not the GPS system. >In a GPS unrelated question, now that the military has removed >the GPS offset or so I understand, I still seem to get off the wall >elevations although even on my GPS the long & lat seem >extremely accurate. is this common or I have a crummy GPS?? Typically vertical accuracy is 1.5 times WORSE than horizontal. Make sure you have a good view of the sky and check your status screen to see if you have a good selection of satellites around your horizon. If you are only looking at a few in one region of the sky your solution will not be optimal. Try looking for a GPS sometime. I have done it with an 8" scope.
