I think that the green line will only show up when you are moving - stop and the green line disappears. In an ideal, obstacle free, world your green arrow will match the black arrowhead pointing to the cache as you are moving. As a follow up - Is there any way to get distance to the cache on that navigation screen? Greg You are correct. The green line shows direction of movement. But the compass should rotate regardless of me standing still. It should rotate as i rotate. Correct? To get the distance to cache, you need to press select and there is an option (don't have the unit with me now) to customize the 2 fields at the bottom of the screen. Press arrow key to select a field and then arrow key to select what info to display. I always put distance to end and speed.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, i updated firmware right out of the box. 1.95 I believe. I will check the SN settings on BB. For the compass. Should I be seeing the green arrow at all times; even when standing still? Should the compass be updating if i turn the unit around? Ie. I stand in one spot and turn 180 deg.? Right now it does not. North wil not change relative to the screen regardless of what direction I am facing.

I have recently started geocaching with my Blackberry Storm2 (9550) using Blackstar. Accuracy has been pretty good, ususally leading me within 5 feet of the cache. Blackstar supports paperless geocaching. Not perfect but good enough. Figure it was time for a dedicated GPS. Ideally with Paperless capability. Last week I ordered a Magellan Triton 500 since it was on sale for $99. Great deal! Used it this past weekend. Under tree cover it was bouncing around and leading me in different directions in a 15-20ft radius. Under light tree cover and clouds. Got frustrated and pulled out the Blackberry. Laid them both down and watched the screens. BB consistantly showed 1m to cache while the Triton jumped anywhere from 1-8m without being moved. Back home I tested the electronic compass. Doesn't seem to work as expected. Usually doesn't align to north correctly until I walk a bit. How do I know I really have an electronic compass? Seems like it may be a 400 (no compass). The model number is shown only on the battery cover. Maybe switched with a 400 battery cover??? Questions: 1. Could some settings be wrong in the Triton? 2. Is the electronic compass always 'live'? 3. Should I return the Triton? Thanks!
