Re: [RC] GPS Mileage - Kristen A FisherI have noticed that if anything, my GPS reads a bit short, and it is usually when you are winding through an area - it may not realize that even though point A & B may actually be 10 yds apart, you may have had to go 10x that distance to get between the 2 points!

Rarely ever is this an accurate assumption (since while under foliage you are probably going to have to go around some trees:)). kat Orange County, Calif. ============================================================ REAL endurance is your water freezing IN the cantle bags! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ Personally, I shouldn't give a s--- where the other people on the course are, and if I find myself starting to concern myself over this, I remind myself that this is the first step on the road to overriding my horse and tell myself to "knock it off!" :) ~ Kat Swigart ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
