Are we looking at the same image?  Because I'm looking at one with really jumpy lines.  You have to consider scale.  Also keep in mind, just because civilian GPS only has an accuracy of about 15m, that doesn't mean that the accuracy changes every second.  I mean, it won't be 10m off in one direction and then one minute later 12m off in another direction.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tonicboy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2010 3:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Artist uses GPS to map things the old-fashioned way: walking around]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/artist-uses-gps-to-map-things-the-old-fashioned-way-walking-aro/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/09/artist-uses-gps-to-map-things-the-old-fashioned-way-walking-aro/</guid><description><![CDATA[@R E Speak as someone who has used a GPS device, they have smoothing built in to counter this.<br><br>the 15m accuracy means it could in theory jump from -7.5 to +7.5, so not really that big of a range on a map like this, and also why would it do this?
