I think this is pretty much my experiences also. There are times that the best accuracy i can get is 25-30 feet but it is generally better like 19-25 and *sometimes* under 10 feet.

Eric,
I along with several others (Glenn, Denali, Myotis) use vistas. Yes sometime you will have reception problems under trees. With experiance you will get to learn when it will happen and will be able to compensate for it. Seldom is really a problem. I can't say any of my no finds are a result of bad reception for my gps. I have only had one occasion when I was not able to get reception for any great distances around a cache. On that cache the closest I got a reading on my gps was .2 miles away. The vista still helped me find the cache because the map screen showed me where the cache was relative to a stream so I did it by terrain association rather than using the pointer.
