I can't count the number of times that I have arrived at a trail head, marked a way point, then thrown the gps into the pack turned off and not even turned it on again unless I lose the truck getting back. I would not want a head up display built into my glasses. I like to go on major walks and try to find my way back to camp going cross country carrying the gps turned off, BUT often I end up a tenth of a mile upstream from my camp and decide to turn on the GPS only to find that I had almost located camp on my own. I think that for someone like yourself living in pretty open country with few trails, a gps would be ideal. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

On my trip with Longhair we still got lost because I turned the gps off after leaving the trail head. Had I placed it antenna up in the top of my pack turned on, it would have recorded the trail back to the truck - duh. But I didn't want to use it unless it was an emergency, and it became one. It was nice to know where the truck was, it would have been nice to know where the TRAIL was too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
