I love my GPS when it works.
Some areas I hunt have very poor coverage especially when the leaves are still on.

ha you guys are lucky, we have to hike up to the peak of the mountains and THEN we MIGHT get a bar of cell service . . . the GPS's cant get the signal for the satelite because of the foilage.  Sometimes there is a weird magnetic current, I assume it is coming from the mountains, but it make a compass do some weird things.  

solution?  Trial and error  :biglaugh:
