Thread: GPS?

I would like to say i'm a great navigator in the bush but i'm not !!! When i was using my own sense of direction with a compass for a back up and doing it often I wasn't too bad at finding my way back to a point. When I came back from overseas after 7 years it had all changed. Went back to my old spots , the trees had grown, clearings had disappeared, grown over with pepper wood, bring in some low cloud and fog and i was getting uncomfortable by myself. In between I'd bought a 62s and gradually learnt to trust it. Now its opened up a new world especially for quick day hunts where I need to get back home that night.When I'd learnt to fly helicopters GPS weren't supposed to be used as a primary navigation device but now they are so accurate and reliable, I'm sure you wouldn't use a compass any more. Have the good old compass in your bum bag but get a good gps and learn to trust it,, they are soo good now.
