Fred- Compared to the speed of the satellites, I think the GPS on a sailboat is always standing still, for all practical purposes. No helmsman can work to single degree accuracy except an autopilot and that's an illusion too...so the absolute accuracy of the GPS's doesn't really matter, does it? I think they are all sub-degree or nearest degree, that's a decision to be set by whoever makes the firmware and hardware.
