My advice? Hang on to your GPS unit tightly. Mine is at the bottom of
the Caribbean - knocked out of my hands by a cruise ship jogger. I was
trying to record the position of some Frigates and a humpback whale that
I had sighted. Oh well - loved it while I had it, definitely the tool
of choice for off road stompers who need to get back to their car.

I'm never lost, I just know I'm not back where I was supposed to be,
yet.
