Has anyone else been encountering GPS positioning to be off by about 100 feet the past several months? I can only speak for here in the Caribbean, but I used to be able to depend on accuracy to put me in the center of a channel. Recently, however, at least since about this past July, I have consistently seen it showing us around 100’ from where we are. Thypcally, Luke this past Tuesday, as we were entering the channel to Renners Cove on St. Thomas, as we were clearly in the center of the channel, it showed us west of and outside of the channel. We have been reported consistently by AIS as about 100’ from where we actually are located at the dock, and we observe other vessels on AIS reported similar distances from their actual location.
I know this is splitting hairs, but we have become accustomed to having GPS locations within 6-12’.
Anyone else encountering this?
