GPS for running fencelines

[CurlyDave]

The builtin compass would be nice.

I have two Garmins with the built-in compass. It is very, very slow to actually use it.

I always carry a regular magnetic compass when I use the GPS. The built-in one is fine as a backup, and I have no doubts that I could navigate out of the woods with it, but you would not like it for everyday use.

Learn to adjust your everyday compass for declination and you will be much happier.

Ok, thanks. I figured it would be like a real compass, but digital. Mine has a compass, but all it does is tell you what direction you are moving in and doesn't seem all that accurate.
