I have a low grade model that I started using this year MW74...and YES, I have been twisted up big time before and guess what?.....on the military base I hunt you only have 1 hour to get back to the gamecheck station to turn in your hunting passes so you better believe I pay close attention to everything I do in the woods. Your GPS will help you bigtime. I walked in last year with mine in the complete darkness just to play around....got a mile back in the woods and was only 30 yards off my intended stand site.....they are invaluable. Bring extra batteries just in case/and a compass.
