[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4004668, member: 5412"] Not really. Go into a canyon and that GPS won't work because it can't acquire sats. Military lensatic compass will get you out every time. I spend a lot of time in the mountains at different times of the year and have friends that hunt the backwoods. Everyone has been fooled by a gps. Never by a real compass. A friend on a bear hunt in Montana spent a long cold night under a log in grizzley country with nothing but an arrow and a knife in his hands because his GPS kept telling him what way was North which got him lost. Not enough sats to follow his tracks back. I've used a GPS in New Mexico in the desert to find a way to the Rio Grande River by Taos coming on this sign, which was true. The location we were looking for was 20 miles away. GPS lied to us. Another OSA member was in the truck with me to verify. [ATTACH type="full"]363196[/ATTACH] People die every year when they rely on GPS alone. [/QUOTE]
