Sat nav marks

I've plotted quite a few wrecks over the last couple of years following Norman's tutorial , this year however, the wrecks I marked out last year and the year before seem to have moved :confused:
I don't imagine they will have physically moved , but the marks on my plotter and the humps and bumps on my sounder don't coincide any more , they all seem to be about 80ft or so out :confused:
Anybody else ever had a similar phenomenon ?
 
No, I’ve not noticed that Ray. Could you have changed your GPS set-up, maybe to a different chart datum? Most charts are set up to be read on the WGS84 setting.
 
I don't know kevin, it's really annoying me, I'll have to spend a bit of time looking at the settings, see if I've changed something I shouldn't have.
 
If somethings changed ray (or maybe a new plotter) at least when you find one "exactly" all the rest will be same distance and direction away from originals ... :) :)

It's weird Norman, my marks were set by the sounder , which is in the same unit as the plotter , over the last two seasons , this season I get to a wreck by the plotter and there's nothing there on the sounder, the wreck has "moved " :confused:
The marks are still pretty close , but I'm going to have to delete them all and start again if I can't find any settings changed on the plotter.
It got to the point earlier on in the season where I was glad to snag on the wreck because it confirmed it was actually there:D
I've got a written log with them all in , I'll have to check them too :rolleyes:
