Sorry if you got the impression that I own a GPS unit.
I never have and I very much doubt I will.
Frankly, outside of marine and aviation applications, there is very little need for GPS in any form.
A good map for a few bucks, along with a compass, is all you need to navigate by foot.
Save your hundreds or thousands of dollars for bike parts instead!

I do, however, like to keep up with new stuff, so I've read up on the subject.
I've read a fair number of long-term stationary tests over the years, and they all give pretty much the same picture. An accuracy of roughly 10 metres for +95% of the time.
