Accurate for telling distance, terrible at telling direction.

Simply to use, good accuracy and a great price . Purchased to use when riding on ATV Trails. At the parking lot, set the point and drive off. Along the trails, set two addition points. Easy return to parking lot or other two points.

Excellent at locating previous locations that fish are being caught and returning me to within 1 or 2 feet from mark. This device worked much better than more expensive GPS devices. Simplicity is a key selling point. All my fishing buddies bought a...
