No probs w/ my e-trex, but I do carry a compass in case of heavy cover. 14-0 so far. J.D. Doctors Inlet, FL

I'm pretty new to this, but I use a compass in conjunction w/ my E-trex. Even in tree cover, I can usually get a pretty stable bearing off the e-trex and use the compass to shoot a line towards the cache. I'm 14-0 so far. (o.k., not counting the one I haven't figured out the clues on.) J.D. Doctors Inlet, FL
