I have a couple new spots that are pretty far back in the woods and Im usually good about not getting turned around but its all really flat with not much change in terrain. All the trees are about the same size. probable 3 or 4 miles with nothing but woods and flat

The default for location reporting will be one of the lat/long methods. Change it to UTM it is much easier to learn and a ton of web sites to learn from. Also UTM is VERY similar to MGRS (military). Also look into geocaching it is a great tool to learn how to use GPS and sometimes a fun activity for the family.

There are millions of geocaches worldwide, just waiting for you to find them. There are probably even some within walking distance of where you are right now. Visit Geocaching.com to see just how many geocaches are nearby and to learn how to start finding them.

With the Garmin 60 CSX I can usually get back to within 15 to 20 feet where i save a way point.. Me and my wife Trail Ride at many new places in America. . When we get to a new area I ALWAYS Save the way point where my Horse trailer is. Even in Heavy foliage ares the 60 CSX seems able to receive the signals it needs to function properly.
