First off...Hello to everyone out there!
I'm brand spanking new to the sport as well. I actually found the GC app in the App store which is what got me interested in the first place. I went out today for the first time and to my surprise I actually had some success. I found both of the caches I set out to find. The iPhone directed me to the exact spot of the first cache which was pretty awesome. The second find posed a bit of a problem though. I had the same bouncing around that you did. However, like many of the other posters have said, I let the phone catch up to me and the compass once again pointed me to the the proper location. So far so good...
Good luck on your future hunts!
