+robcaryh Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hi, I just got my new Garmin Legend tonight and went hunting for my first cache. On the map screen,I have the waypoint of the cache I want to find displayed but I will be heading straight at the waypoint,be a half mile away then it flips the display nd says I am headed away from the cache now 1.5 miles away. I have my datum set right,any ideas? Quote Link to comment
+Joe Smith Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 If this was when you first started walking, it is normal. It takes a few seconds for the unit to realize what way you are moving. When you powered it up it thought you were pointing at the cache but when it realized the truth it quickly changed. If it was under very heavy tree cover, this can happen too. If it was none of the above there may be somthing wrong. I'd say give it some time. It could be nothing. GOOD LUCK Joe Quote Link to comment
+apersson850 Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 It's a measurement device. Occasionally, it'll get a misreading, which fools it into thinking that you started to reverse. It will usually detect the mistake quickly enough. Anders Quote Link to comment
