Mine is no more or less accurate than any other way of measuring, but it's a tad finicky to use. I'd guess there are better models on the market. Mine is a no-name device I got almost 25 years ago. > If so, any suggestions on where to get them? A good map store should have them. This one looks decent and is made by a reputable manufacturer. Never used this one, so I'm not endorsing anything! http://www.acornnaturalists.com/p9498.htm Mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
