Is there any way to offset the GPS? When I am in the center of a channel the GPS indicates that I am off to one side or the other.

Not to my knowledge but the 541 is "was" enabled which will scroll the screen more slowly but is more accurate. You will have change the setting.

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

You hide this in a geocache, and it will send out a signal that can be picked up by another gps. So you don't actually have to find it, you could have It so when you get within 20-30 feet it automatically gives them new coordinates. It would work really well in a multi cache.

I did strike out on this on my 1st one. Call Garmin, there are quite helpful on the phone.

I have taken trails that I have never been on, turned the Tracker on and the arrow will point to the direction back to camp. It doesn't show the route you took....It is a High Tech Compass and it will count down in meters as you get closer to camp.

Yes, you can "Set location" for somewhere else, but I don't recall how to do that. I guess find the address, and maybe the "Set location" option pops up then? But mine finds satellites fairly quickly, even if it's been turned off. If it takes more than 5 minutes, turn it off and start over. Mine usually finds them in a minute or less. I think it does it faster if you turn it on before you start moving. HTHS--

As stated by Garmin, your location will be accurate within 10ft if properly calibrated. I will state that you will never find a device that will tell you "exact" long/lat but most devices get pretty close.

I use GPS all the time and haven't noticed any difference. When mounted, the magnet is dead center on the back of my phone. Maybe there aren't any GPS receivers right there. As I mentioned in another post, the magnet isn't quite strong enough to hold the metal plate through a thin otter box. Maybe that is the reason the GPS isn't being affected.

I don't know what you mean... but my stations are located 40mi. away and I get them with a strong signal. I do need to adjust often to keep alignment. Hope that helps....

This is was you Can Do...Go to the Compas. Get your Angle then Switch back to your base map Move the cursor to where you want to go and make a Waypoint. When you move the Cursor like this is measures distance.

A GPS signal doesn't work well through opaque objects, regardless of the technology/application. If you were on an indoor track surrounded by a bunch of windows it might work decently well (similar to running in the woods) but if the track is especially short you are going to lose accuracy staying in such a small area.

Yes you need a satellite dish adjusted to the correct direction, and a few other steps. Like before please refer to fta forums...

My transmitter is broadcasting from my computer, I set the volumn on the transmitter in the middle, maybe just a little right, like 1:00 position, then I adjust the volumn on my computer higher, works for me

sometimes it helps if you connect your gps to the internet via usb on your computer and visit garmin.com.they have this utility called: webupdater.i've upgraded mine to 265WT because i need the USB. hands down to garmin, i have no problem with this device (only minor glitch, such as bluetooth sound sometimes disappears). good luck.

try turning it completely around in opposite direction or change its position and rescan. Sometimes I can pick up more stations after rescanning. It could also be you are too far away from the stations. Good luck

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.
