[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 397860, member: 4191"] Same here Eaglet. PDA's were a foreign device to me until I purchased the Dell Axim X51V specifically for LB. I still don't know much about the other uses for an X51V. But I did eventually come to learn that after I move into a position and set up to spot/ambush/shoot, I can load a saved Tract, input the existing Field Conditions, Lat, and anticipated azimuth. Then I load the Shoot! or Shoot Solution tab, turn ON spin drift, coriolis, slope, and enter the range to where I expect the game encounter to appear. Then I briefly tap the power button, this seems to place the PDA in hibernation mode with a relatively low battery draw/drain. [B]Tap the power button briefly again whenever I need to get dope for a shot and the unit is quickly up and running just as I last entered data[/B]. I can quickly enter any revised pertinent data (wind or temperature changes, azimuth, LRF range), get the corrective dope, and prepare for the shot. I use desktop and laptop PCs extensively and have for the past ~20 years, but for whatever reason, the PDA involved a bit of a learning curve. [/QUOTE]
