Is cell service required for gps?
Sounds like whatever I end up with, I better do lotsa testing before I trust it at all.On a previous VA mountain trip a Garman gps did not function most of the time. No experience with other brands.
Snubby you should check and see if there are any orienteering groups in your area,I think you might really enjoy the sport and get your exercising in while having fun.
I can see I need to explore the capabilities of my smart phone that I dumb down because I haven't taken the time to learn its capabilities.
tell us how you really feel,and how you established the difference there.
Oh shoot, I thought you were going to tell us, you chased a Bear through the wood's.![]()
Shoot, this gimpy old Injun might just teach them youngsters a thing or two.I can see it now, some 18 year old Irish kid, teaching an old injun how to find his way through the woods.![]()
That's good advice. My digital camera cost $50 less at Walmart than what I could get it for online. They'll take back anything.I would save up and buy one with cash, at a major box store with a good return policy. Try it, don't like it or it don't work in the mountains, take it straight back. Nothing lost. But like you said, look at you options on line first.
I'd much rather be broke, than lost?
While you were lost, did you come across man on sled.![]()
I'll never tell.I dunna know but, ill bet he found the lost dutchman's mine and he aint tellin. Either that or he found out where D.B. Cooper hid his loot. On the other hand, he may have found Jimmy Hoffa's body.
I know, it sucks. But some of the best hiking trails are just over the border In Maryland.Snubby:
You gave a list of things that you usually carry with you, but I know that you are famous for your pocket holsters. I presume that you use them yourself, in fact I think I've seen a post of what you usually carry in it. You need to be careful over there on the frontier of the People's Republic of Maryland. One of the PRM border guards might catch you if you wander in the wrong direction!!
Best Regards, Les
Smart phone is not so smart in WVA mountains .Just took a trip thru to see cousins no service 90% of the trip
I'm planning on doing lotsa testing on known trails before I even begin to trust it.Here's a screenshot I took of my phone midway through my walk yesterday. Between the alarm icon and the bars indicating phone signal strength is a rectangle with a slash through it indicating that the 4-G remote data capability is turned off. There is a GPS indicator showing a good fix and it is using maps stored on the phone's memory. The arrow on the dot indicating current position is pointing north. Your problem would be if the hills and woods block getting a good GPS fix.
