99% of the time (as in the case that started the thread) the
"culprit" is a D7/00 with a GPS input. You told Kenwood to implement
this feature whose result is to obfuscate a precise position.
Regardless, things like Google Maps have no concept of ambiguity.
Even if I considered your actions a good thing, it simply does not
translate into the modern world of internet mapping. One must assign
a specific lat/lon to obtain a plot. The world has moved on to "I'm
right here", your concept of "I'm somewhere over here" is so 20th
century ;-)
