Thanks so much, everyone! We really appreciate getting some tips like this. It's great to know that we A) aren't stupid, Experiencing things it sounds like a lot of folks have tackled. I'd never thought about the 90 degree thing, but that makes a ton of sense. Thanks everyone! Brennan

Hi all, Given the terrific breadth of experience here, I thought I should turn here first for some help. We're reallly struggling with our GPS. We have a Garmin Legend, and when we're using it, we get a lot of odd results. I guess we're looking for some guidance on how to read the thing. Here's the deal -- when we are in navigation mode, we get to within anout 40-50 feet of the target coordinates, and the distance and direction indicators go wild. Good example -- yesterday, we were getting close when the direction indicator jumped 90 degrees. It wasn't that we were too close -- we were still 40 feet from the target. (We were in scrub trees with clear visibility of the sky. There were a few airplanes overhead here and there, if it matters). Help... we're struggling because we don't feel like we ever get very close to a cache, and its getting pretty frustrating. Any advice appreciated. Brennan
