[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 21852, member: 34"] Dave Don't you have to know the known distance to the target and with the GPS system you must go to the area or spot you are wanting to know the distance too and take a reading for the GPS to plot it for you? If so, that would be a handicap to the longrange shooter if he was in an unknown area to hunt and that means you would still need a reliable rangefinder? Any GPS I have been around you had to take a reading at one spot, say the target and then go back and take another (where you want to shoot from) to determine the range. The handheld computer is a good idea but, the distance, I think, must still be ranged to put the info in the palm computer? I'm just wondering how or IF the "thing" or GPS can range for you without ever being at the bullet impact site? Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
