On a good day I’ve gotten the accuracy down to around 8 feet." In looking at these systems, I have found that they have an internal accuracy typically of 10 meters (30 feet). In looking to purchase and use a GPS, I am curious as to how you were able to get the "accuracy" to your 20 feet/ 8 feet? What is the name of product with which you got the 8 feet accuracy? Thank you for your reply.
