"This information is furnished as an additional tool to assist your enjoyment of the outdoors. It is NOT intended to be used for navigation. The U.S. Department of Commerce states that without the intentional errors of "Selective Availability" civilian GPS accuracy should be within a 20 meter (65.6 ft.) radius of a true position 98% of the time. You may often achieve better, but you should always assume that there is possibility of a 65.6 foot error in your receiver's readings. Therefore, you should not rely on any single navigation tool. All have weaknesses. Use the information at your own risk. No warranty is implied or inferred. We welcome reports of errors or omissions. Once verified, we will make an effort to correct such error as soon as practicable. Unless other wise stated, all positions are determined using WGS 84 datum and are given in degrees, minutes and thousandths of minutes (dd,mm.mmm).
