Thread Name: BS: Global positioning system
Subject: RE: BS: Global positioning system
Gargoyle/Rapaire, I can read a map, learned in the Boy Scouts and have a passion for them bordering on obsession. However, they don't help at all in finding one's way back to a square metre of duff in the middle of the forest -- millions of trees that look almost exactly alike! (As a matter of fact, I can't find a decent map of Vancouver Island anywhere). I need something that will record where I am precisely so I can get back to the same spot a year from now. I thought a GPS devise would help. What should I be paying for one anyway, and do they need maintainance?
