[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 131422, member: 2011"] With a handheld such as Etrex etc the it can't be done at the time of the shot. Waypoints of where the shot will be made to may be stored. The position indicator will then show the distance from your location to the waypoint within maybe 20 or 30 yards. With a good submeter GPS ($1500) connected to a laptop ($700) w/a functional serial to USB adapter ($30 - A PIA BTW), a decent GIS ($1500)and an inverter for the laptop ($50)with all of this connected to you vehicle battery and a decent backround image of the area (Free from USGS) you range as far as you wish to within about 2 yards or so. Short answer: No [/QUOTE]
