After reading your message, I turned on my Etrex Vista. The satellite
page claims an accuracy of 16 feet. I checked it against a waypoint
that I set when I first bought the unit. It looked to be spot on to
me.
FWIW, I've noticed (in the past) that the claimed accuracy varies
greatly with signal stength and the number of satellites that it can
see.
