Hi Guys,
Went out again Friday to try and find some waypoints, maybe get a snapper or grouper. Well this darn GPS of mine, it is a handheld Garmin Legend, will point me in the right direction then as I get within a hundred feet, moving real slow, at some point the distance to mark starts counting up again as If I had passed the waypoint. I could understand if I had gotten within a couple of feet but it will do in at over a hundred feet from target, every time. Am I experiencing the 7 second lag? Do I need to come to a complete stop then ease towards the mark? I am beginning to wonder if I have a defective unit.
I had been plannin on buying better electronics but something came up with a rental property and so the new stuff will have to be delayed for awhile. That being the case I would like to make do with what I have.
