GPS. Any good?

It is equal to any other handheld GPS. Personally, I like it and use it often. It normally gets me within a few feet of a marked spot. It's not a land surveyors $20,000 sub-inch reciever, it's a normal consumer grade GPS. Don't buy a CTX for the built in GPS, buy it for it's ability to alert you to deep silver and copper coins.

Like Jason says, but in a lot of my areas it will sometimes wander off target when the # of satellites it hits are low or when I go into the trees, deep in a holler, near/under a canopy, etc.
I think it is quite accurate. I detect mostly on the beach and can compare tracks during various low tides. I've gone back weeks later to find a signal when I was unable to dig a target due to incoming tides and too high of surf. Sadly what I was after wound up being what looked like a chunk of lawnmower engine case. but I did get to it using the GPS.
