Hand held GPS =0 as its not reliable & gives error >30miles!
* I bought one, then I had to return it back as it was showing me out of London while I was in it!
* GPS positions are accurate only when the satellite passes.
* Sat.passes at different intervals from 1/2 t0 3 1/2 hrs.
* Whithin those intervals, what u get from the Sat navigator (GPS) is approximate positions based on calculations between the lasdt two original GPSs, & that is regardless of water or air currents drifting,slowing or increasing the ship's speed.
* Especially in area near the coasts like in the Golf, the water currents change direction & speed v. rapidly.
* So theoritically they may be in Iraqi waters, But practically they were in Irani waters.
** I found it very stupid idea to prove that they were in Iraqi waters supported by a hand held GPS.
THIS IS HOW MODERS SHIPS RUN AGROUND IN THE eNGLISH CHANNEL, BECAUSE THE USERS DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE INSTRUMENTS WORK,IN THEORY THEY WERE ON COURSE BUT THEY R NOT!
