Neat stuff for sure.....I am milking my older phone for now, so the best I can do is email a client from the water! (WOW)..

Now to my point. Last friday am it was foggy. visibility approx 4-500 yards.

I took off , turned on my GPS with the intention of marking a few points, and my GPS would not sync up....Poor satellite reception! DARN!

So I took out my handy compass, and used it and the depth on my fish finder to navigate....I did a fair job of getting out...It is wierd travelling with out land marks, etc!

But a working GPS with maps, or at least points would be faster and easier...but a compass is more reliable..

Note: at home I did a reset of my GPS, and it worked fine...

Go figure
