Thanks everyone! I'm pretty sure that I understand now and I was making it much more difficult than it needed to be. Hopefully, by lunchtime tomorrow I'll have another smiley to add to my list.

I was wondering if I could get a little help. A cache I would like to look for on an upcoming road trip has this in it's description: 1st - how do I measure a reverse azimuth? I am using a flat, plastic, classic compass since my eTrex Legend Cx does not have a real compass. I've looked the definition up online and now I'm more confused than ever. (I don't know if I even know how to pronounce azimuth!) 2nd - does anyone have any tips for how to best measure feet traveled using their GPSr? I think I'm getting too bogged down in the details, not seeing the forest for the trees, etc. with this problem. I've found 2 caches where you locate point A, take a heading of X degrees, walk Y feet. I was lucky in both instances and had to stop when I reached Y feet because there was a building or hedge or somesuch where the cache was hidden. Thanks in advance!
