How is it and other GPS phones for hiding a cache? In the last couple of
years I've started noticing (mostly new cachers) having all their
coordinates significantly off. I have speculated they were hiding them with
a GPS enabled phone and GPS phones were not good for hiding caches. Is
there any factual basis to my speculation?
