With your LX200 GPS, the software is basically the same as my RCX.
If your in Polar mode, then check your alignment, then train your drives.
If your in Alt Az, check your mount level, then train your drives.
This (Train Drives) will only work on a stationary object. So dont try it on stars. This test basically compensates for backlash and minor gear errors.
Read your manual on how to do this.
This will be your main reason to pointing error.
Others include, like i said earlier, Polar alignment, mount not flat (Use bubble level), bad calibration on your smart drv (Use factory default).
