[QUOTE="Brent, post: 43660, member: 99"] QH, Thanks for the helpfull review! Was the accuracy on GPS's still being screwed with back then when you were up here? I can't remember, but it was around then that the quit scrambling them so bad... mine will keep me within 15 feet or so of a foot trail NOW! Way better than before that! I remember getting back from a trip the day they allowed them to be more accurate, THAT TRIP I sure could have used the extra accuracy, oh well, even though it was practically useless to help keep me on this basically hidden foot trail in the deep nasty crap, it wasn't life or death... just hundreds of yards of Devils Club over my head... that sucked. Never did find the trail again, although I'm sure I crossed it several times, too growed over everywhere. I'll see if I can't find someone with a map on one to play with, it sounds like a big bonus indeed. Some of the trails up here in winter time are just dogsled trails and tracks accross lakes and swamps, they just run for miles and miles with snomobile track running every which way, you can get all turned around real easy if you don't pay real close attention. Most of the time, like you, I'm around well known trail and road systems and the GPS isn't even turned on. The base map in my GPSIII is pretty basic, unless you want to use it in the city or near MAIN roads and rivers, up here they didn't put much effort into the "offroad" trail systems.
