The backup GPS was turned on, found reference satellites and gave a reading 
over a period of about 60 seconds, the boat was standing still i.e. < 1/4 
knot of speed.

The difference of location was approximately 1 mile which was similar to the 
2 sideways steps in the route shown by the chart plotter connected to the 
ships GPS.
