I still don't see how it works. I tend to get disoriented pretty easily and prefer not to hike alone for that reason. It would have helped to see how it shows if you're on trail or not, and if you've somehow gone off trail I'd have liked to see how to use it to get back on trail.
eddy de wilde: This is just a general introduction to GPS......the "how to use it" instructions come with the unit (there are some differences/controls, etc between units).
