Now that the "SA" is turned off accuracy will be +/- a couple of percent no
matter what size tires you have. Mine has a detailed map on it so I won't
get lost, plus it sends my position back home and to the Internet. A few AA
batteries will run it for a long time and Lord Lucas won't even know it's

Actually, for the price of a good GPS you could buy a rally computer that is
MUCH more accurate for measuring distance directly at the wheel to 1/1000
mile. Many have a speedometer.
