Re: [Paddlewise] GPS-No more SA

Now if only my GPS worked!

My Magellan ColorTrak died this weekend and is going back for warranty repair.  Bummer.

I actually had to think about what direction was home!  (One hour at around 80 degrees.  45 minutes at 330.  What direction is home, without a calculator or GPS, etc?  About 45 minutes at roughly 210.)
