I took my Garmin 176 out to find the corner steaks of my property. With a
clear view of the sky it will get you within 8-10' but under the trees it is
only good to get you within 25' of so but the big problem was that I spent
to much time looking at the GPS and not enough looking where I was going.
Got the worst case of poison ivy I have ever experienced!

Greetings All,
It looks like using a GPS for locating features on my 10 wooded acres
would be a real bonus. Especially since my wife cannot tell where she
is on the parcel. There are many available for around $100.00. I don't
really want one for driving directions, or that has a bunch of maps in
it. I just want to know, with reasonable accuracy, where I'm standing
in relation to a map of the parcel. It looks like a 3 meter circle is
standard accuracy for the $100.00 units. I think this will be OK. So,
opinions and advice please because there are so many options and so
many well educated folks reading this NG.
Thanks,
Eric R Snow
