After using a compass for decades, I'm going with a basic Garmin etrex.

It's good for moving from point A to B in the light, and moving from Point A to B in next day's pre dawn hours.

I've got a planned hunt, possibly over four or five consecutive days. I plan to play it by "ear."
I intend to hunt and scout; move and then move. I have at least four public areas, which I may cover. A gps will make the moves easier, especially over a five day, out of state hunt. One day I can move to point B, to point C, to point D one day. And have the option to move from Point A, the starting point, right to Point C the next day, without a lot of retained memory by me on Point C.

Any limitation on a gps is the "shoe leather" used. I'll be hunting solo, so I won't have to convince anyone else to move.

And I'll do some pre-season practice with the preseason walks in a park. And I'll find out how long batteries last, and how many to carry on the hunt. The old compass will remain as backup. That doesn't use batteries.

Hard to believe March is here already.
