[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 104617, member: 1582"] I'm yet to buy a handheld GPS so good discussion topic. I can not emphasise enough when you go bush how easy it is to lose directions. A GPS gives you the ability to find the car and back track out of where you came from. I've been in that situation head down detecting then looked up to see the same canopy 360 degrees and having to scratch my head for directions. I ended up about 1/2 a km from the car and recognised where I was finally. Having said that, it was a wake up call that I need to be prepared. Same in the boat, navigating in fog so heavy u cant see 2 feet in front. Was able to follow the GPS and get home safely. I Need to buy a handheld! [/QUOTE]
