I had one go bad after a few checked bag flights but it only pushed the bubble off center, so it floated around.

I always hunted speed goats between Buffalo and Gillette, not sure of the unit number.

I appreciate the insights, gents. I carry both a Silva and a Brunton along with a Trimble at work. I've seen GPS units go down and "hay wire" but lately there is the unfortunate reliance on electronics alone from far too many people and it is beginning to create serious issues in the larger...

Let me know if you reconsider trades. In the mean time, I will attempt to liquidate a couple of assets.
