GPS questions answered on-line
   Internet users of northcarolinasportsman.com are now be able to tap into Capt. Paul Titus’ wealth of GPS information.  Wondering exactly where Saturday Island is? Want to know how you can greatly improve the accuracy of your GPS unit?  Just post your question, and Titus will respond at his earliest convenience. There is no charge for the service.  Titus has been studying the use of GPS since 1994, and has established an ever-growing database. He has taught over 18 seminars instructing anglers and hunters how to make better use of their GPS units.  “A lot of people think you can pick up your GPS and start entering waypoints straight out of the box,” Titus said. “I’ve had people in my class whose GPSs were up to 700 feet off.”
If you are requesting GPS coordinates from Capt. Paul, please describe the general area of the request. Because there are numerous locations in North Carolina that have the same local names, a brief description will help. For instance, there are at least 15 Grand Bayous in Louisiana. However, there is only one Grand Bayou, out of Port Sulphur.

"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).
