For ranging long-range shots, can you mark two points with the Dakota and find the straight-line distance and altitude difference between the two?

You can go to one of the points, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. At this time I get rid of all tracks that are not needed because they may confuse things. Then go, not necessarily in a straight line, to the other point, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. Zero your trip odometer. Then, click "Where To" and select your first waypoint. Your Trip Computer screen should show distance to destination, and the map screen should have a track that runs right to it. I have not found a way to view the elevation difference directly, because I have never had a need for that. I hope that answers your question. There may be a better procedure, but that has worked for me.

You can download the nikon "spot on" app and check out how different loads match up using the BDC....its great and printable. I love that scope and utilizing the "spot on" app really helps better dial it in based on ammo using or if you ever decided to put it on a different rifle. But realistically depending on the ammo use its all about the fps as well as bullet weight and coeffocient, but download the app first and you will see what I mean. Enjoy

It will show the range to the flag or to any point you put it on. I usually laser the green in front of the hole a few feet and expect my shot to release a few feet. I use this range finder and have been quite happy with it.

Yes you can mark a focus point on this follow focus device. It's one of the very best I've ever used in every way. By the way, you can also lock in a focus or zoom range and change the tension of the move or focus control. Good unit!

The difference is the longitude, both are extremely hard to load. Don't buy this rifle you can get something better for a not so higher price.

I have used this GPS for geocaching and hunting...it gets me within a few feet most of the time...even in tree cover....yes lat and long can be added using a waypoint..

I don't know the distance, as I have never tried to measure it. What I do know is there are 3 ways to sight your Red Dot once it is mounted. 01) If you have a front sight, Simply adjust the Elevation so that your Dot sits right on the tip of your Front Sight Post, Then make Windage Adjustments once you have Dialed in your Elevation settings. 02) A Laser Bore Sight tool can be used prior to Down Range Sighting in. 03) Winging it - Just simply fire 3 rounds and see where your point of impact is. Then Dial in your Elevation 1st. Then Windage come last.

Your absolutely right. I shot at a bear at a 3d shoot it was standing up at a pretty steep angle at 60 yards and it told me to shoot at 55 and I was still high. So we shot it again for 50 and we were right on. I haven't messed with it out of my tree stand yet.

Yes, you can go backwards as well, but I can't remember it that distance is recorded in the readings!

Yes, the device has at least a 500 ft. min., range scale, so yes you can accurately fins another spot 700 ft., north or south, east, west, etc... from were you are. The GPS will get you with-in a reasonable distance of the spot. (ie: 10 ft or so).

I'm not sure Greg. The elevation has considerable adjustment range. However, I zeroed in at 50 yards and haven't touched it since.

I believe it can. When I first got it, before I could get the guns out to the range, I shot some stuff over it with a rubber band and it recorded a speed. You need to shoot into a small wedge formed by the uprights and the sky screen, so accuracy is important.

With the optional GPS Receiver GP-E2 attached to the hot shoe or the digital terminal, the EOS Rebel SL1 can record location, including latitude, longitude and altitude, and has the ability to track the trajectory of movement with its logging function. An electric compass records the camera's orientation during each shot, and world time information is recorded through GPS syncing.

Joshua are you talking about using the mil dots to determine distance? If so it is in the instruction manual included with the scope.

It is calibrated to 22 LR, so no you will not be able to set it up for multiple distances.

The Dakota is fairly easy to use, but Garmin is infamous for helpful instructions so "playing with it" is an excellent learning method. I don't think you'll find scrolling requirements excessive. As to showing you how to get back to your starting point ... I'm not clear whether you're considering the 10 or the 20. Both offer a track-back option. The maps that are provided WITH the Dakota are next to useless. Adding decent maps to the 10 is a hassle, the 20 allows adding maps with a micro SD card. With one of those, a Dakota 20 can probably get you back to the trailhead (or your car) backtracking the path you took.
