G'day Vicki et al.

I'm just a beginer with this GPS navigation stuff but my Etrex (the basic yellow
one) will show accurate directions very soon after you start moving.
Experienced folk always recommend carrying a compass as well.  I must get one
and learn how to use it -  maybe a christmas present hint.

I occasionally walk from the car along a track for a couple of km and then use
the GPS to take me back in a straight line through the bush.  It's often arduous
and scratchy but I've made it back every time and it's more intereastng than
retracing one's steps.

Cheers

Steve
