Yes I am a newb.
My question is this. I have read many posts about problems with the gpsr causing confusing distances and directions as you get close to the cache. I have experienced this and last night I changed to map function. Though the location jumped around a bit, it was much! easier to stay on my intended track to the cache(well almost). I had turned my garmin vista to map at the near lowest zoom. Does anyone else do this? What is the collective wisdom on the subject?
By the way, I had a fixed reference point ( a lake) so telling the correct direction was easy.
P.S. Didn't find the cache Like I said, it was night, deep woods and Skategirl was a little uncomfortable since Sagar forgot his flashlight. I had to carry her out. (She is 6)
