When using anchor lock there are a few common factors to stay aware of:
Water conditions: If water is rough or fast moving this can have a significant effect on the efficiency of the anchor lock
Size/layout of boat: The size and layout of the boat has a lot to do with the function of anchor lock as the resistance to move through the water changes dramatically
GPS accuracy: Garmin GPS receivers are consumer grade and are accurate to within 15 meters (49 feet) 95% of the time. Generally, users will see accuracy within 5 to 10 meters (16 to 33 feet) under normal conditions. Based on the accuracy of the compass calibration this may vary
