GPS-Referenzpunkt Berchtesgaden

Nobody will argue that we need mobile GPS receivers for our hobby. But probably everyone of us had already had a problem with inaccurate coordinates. Whether they come from the GPS receiver or not carefully measured coordinates by the owner is difficult to tell.

In case your GPS receiver is the problem, you will find it out here! At the given coordinates you will find a public reference point for GPS receivers in the area of Berchtesgaden. Further information can be found here.

log conditions:

Visit the reference point. Put your GPS receiver on the middle of the plate and compare your coordinates with the ones shown on the plate. Please comment on the accuracy of your machine in your log entry (ideally with mentioning the type of GPS you are using). If you can also provide a picture, it is even better.

When stand infront of the plate and you look up, you can see parking spots for short time parking. How long are you allowed to parc there? The time is needed as a password to log this cache online.

By the way, my GPS (Garmin etrex 30) gave me the following data:

coordinates: N 47° 35.487' E 012° 59.309'
altitude: 604 m

This is good enough for me. So, now it's your turn. Have fun!
