The GPS satelite system was originally made with a built-in error called selective availability (or SA) that limits it's accuracy.  Military GPS units have compensation.  As of May 2000 the SA was turned off.

Here's an article that discusses this:  http://www.gpsworld.com/survey/consumer-grade-gps-receivers-gis-data-collection-7311

After the SA was turned off consumer grade GPS units became accurate to within 3 to 10 meters depending on make and model.  There are many factors that affect accuracy.

Garmin states it's GPS receivers are accurate to within 15 meters on average.
