[QUOTE="Comancheria, post: 1635696, member: 110141"] Thanks, Adam. I failed to mention that I currently have an older Leica 1200--bought it for a Western Muley hunt and shot my buck at short yardage. I have not used it in years, due to not needing it for the hunting I have done. The other day, I pulled it out and took readings on some hard targets--sides of buildings, cars, and road signs--that sort of thing. It didn't inspire confidence when I measured out 1/10 of a mile from a broken-down travel trailer by the side of the road, still sitting where Hurricane Harvey deposited it. Now, 1/10 of mile is, as we know 176 yards. I parked beside it, set my odometer to zero, and drove until the tenth mile indicator turned over to one. The readings from that point were 226. Not knowing how accurate/inaccurate an odometer is, I suppose I need to get one of those distance rollers used in the construction industry to re-measure. But a difference of nearly 30 percent does not seem likely. The other factor making me favor the Geovid solution is, as I say, not having to fiddle with so many tools. Thanks again to both of you.
