I have a similar Issue with the Garmin Vista HCx. Occasionally I
observe, that the GPS position is way off the known road/path I am on.
The satellite accuracy is high +-5m.
When I switch the device off and on again, it positions me right where I
am supposed to be. So it seems to accumulate some sort of error in its
internal calculations and needs the occational reset when it is "going
wrong with great confidence"

yes this is a Garmin special feature. I believe they do some estimates
when reception isn't good. the track is drifting away and suddenly
jumps back. switching off and on is an option too.<br>
The Vista had a couple of bug fixes in the last firmware updates.
Something to try. If you update I recommend to use the native program
and not the webupdater if the device is out of warranty. <br>
