[QUOTE="jimisbell, post: 2448096, member: 114969"] I am setting up a range for up to 4,000 yards. I want to use a simple GPS for measurements. Not sure which ones will work. BUT....I DON'T NEED MAPS!! All I need is the ability to mark both ends of the path and have it calculate the distance. Assuming level ground. Even without the calculator I could use pencil and paper to calculate it if the unit would give me the GPS positions. It seems that most small handheld units are geared to using maps and land marks, not just raw GPS. But there may be some out of the box solutions as well. 1) is there a program for tracking that will use my phone to find a tagged object and give me the distance to that object? 2) Since my phone does have GPS information that is accessible to the police, how can I access that information? 3) maybe time the bullet from firing line to target? That would be hard without very accurate instruments. Any other ways other than a 3 mile tape measure? [/QUOTE]
