My dad is looking at buying a gps unit for whitetail and elk hunting in eastern Montana and has a specific question, I thought some of you land nav experts could answer.
He wants to be able to do the following on a GPS unit
1. Mark the location (waypoint) where I am when I spot the bedded animal.
2. Provide an azimuth to the animal. (With a compass we have to get ourselves to a obvious terrain feature before we shoot the azimuth.)
3. Let me check the back azimuth to the waypoint as I circle around past
the animal.
4. Let me determine when I am directly on the line between the waypoint
and the animal and to check my relationship with that line as needed
while I move toward the animal.
Is this doable and straightforward on a 60CSX or Vista HCX?
Can you draw an azimuth on a gps's map?
