Averaging a Geocache

records a series of GPS readings for the geocache’s
location and averages them to increase the positional
accuracy of the geocache. As you average the geocache,
the GPS status, coordinates, elevation, number of readings
at the location, and estimated accuracy display. Multiple
readings improve the positional accuracy of the geocache.
The estimated accuracy number decreases as the
accuracy improves.
