Actually, I don't even understand how that can be, I thought they were accurate to around 30ft? or is it 30m (90ft). Do you think you lost signal in canyons or something like that? Or maybe it just seemed like 500ft?

It may have been poor reception, or it may be the sattelite reception mode. One is more battery-intensive but is more accurate.. or something.. A friend explained it to me in an email, but I can't find it.. I have mine set to WAAS/EGNOS, which the manual says is
"more accurate" than normal, but uses more battery life.
As far as accuracy, mine seems accurate to about 100ft, which I tested in a neighborhood with very tight streets about 500-700 ft apart - no trouble telling where to turn, even with the map zoomed out a bit.
