Hey dandut46
Depends on your purpose. To keep from getting lost, a simple compass or Bushnell Trackback (see " A WALK IN THE WOODS/LOST?" post by FRANKN) will work. If you want to record/grid locations of your finds , a little more sophisticated GPS could be used.

Mainly to find my location in the area I'm at or how much further to my destination.thanks for reply
