Waypoint Averaging
The below tests were about 5 minutes of simultaneous averaging (about the practical limit of someone trying refine a bearing and distance to a geocache). The ST Color's automatic averaging was broken by rapid movement before averaging. The Garmin waypoints were averaged, while the ST Color waypoint were just saved.
