[GRASSLIST:6286] Re:Re: GPS points off by about 120m to the west

> the GPS was set for the same projection parameters...

I think that what Mr. Hamish said is true, and suggest to convert points from wgs84
to your datum using v.proj.

Michele.

The GPS is exporting waypoints in WGS84;
the error you are seeing is surely due to a datum shift;
v.in.garmin should take care of all that for you.

i.e. regardless of what you have the GPS datum set to display on the
screen, it will output WGS84. At least that what my Garmins do.

were you importing with v.in.garmin or v.in.ascii?

note v.in.garmin in 6.0 is broken, get the latest version of the script
from CVS.
