Hey, has anyone experienced weirdness with their GPS receiver?
For example, a Garmin whose compass arrow doesn't point to the cache but the metres-away gets smaller as you walk closer? Or a Magellan that on occasion (and you never know when) points 20-40m in the complete opposite direction of the cache? Or have I just been blessed with wonderful electronics? -------------------- ~ 4 Paws And Then Some

My magellan's basemap was WAY off, mostly the city locations and a bit of the highways too. However, the added real maps were great, bang on, even for dirt roads.
