[QUOTE="Brent, post: 21855, member: 99"] [B]One thing I can do with it that I haven't tried yet (technically possible just unprogrammed). I can use the GPS to get the shooters position and then use the LASER to get the distance to the target THEN I use the compass bearing to the target and output the coordinates for the target site. These coordinates can then be keyed into the GPS and now the shooter knows when the critter is by using the GPS and the GOTO function. [/B] Now that is something I've never thought about. I'm going to try it and see how accurate "I" can get doing it. I have the old Garmin GPSIII not the GPSIII PLUS that is "TOPO" capable. What are you using Dave? Do you have to be moving to get a compass bearing, or is it one that has the electronic compass or something like that built in? Oh, how accurate are your altitude readings? One more thing. If you haven't tried the Duracell "ULTRA's", they last exactly twice as long in mine. They're twice the price but they don't run out while the GPS is tucked away supposed to be doing it's job. Also when it is cold the voltage stays high enough to keep it running until it gets warm again later. They last about 20 hours in mine non stop with Four "AA" ULTRA's [/QUOTE]
