New GPS

I got a new more accurate GPS module for my quad copter today.  It is the round unit mounted on the carbon fiber rod.
It was nice and sunny when I got it mounted, so I took it out for a test flight.  I had flown it with the old GPS unit earlier while Vera was at bible study so I was able to compare the two.  I did about six RTLs (Return To Launch) with it and it was perfect all but one time and then it was only off about 18 inches.  The old unit could be off six to ten feet at times.
The weather was playing April Fools tricks on us, because later it was raining and hailing.
