Got my eye on a few on eBay atm. Can't afford a disto yet, but at least that's one half of the combo. (And I've downloaded PocketTopo plus docs.)

Amy said:Point taken. I was working hard to make sure it was free floating and not stuck. But the viewfinder was kinda discolored and numbers hard to read. I did try one eying it but that wasn't working any better (although fwiw when I shoot I do one eye and people yell at me for that, but I'm accurate at 150yards so.....whatever. I've only been to a range twice and people already nicknamed me Amy Oakley because I'm a great shot so.....yes one eye works ha!)
Definitely could have been anything from user error to a bad compass (the other person was struggling too and he has surveyed a LOT - like 30 years - and said he has never had this much trouble with a compass before)
Are there any compasses that are easier to read or something? Or are all the same?
Dell Axim x50v or x51v (v means VGA). There are 3600 or 3700 mAh accumulators for them on eBay too. Take care to buy it with a craddle, it is important for charging the accus.estelle said:Am interested in the idea of the PDA usage though - can anyone recommend a good budget device that works well with Pockettopo and the cave environment/battery usage/etc.?

Also I got one of these Otterboxes which I think are just the job.

kdxn said:These allow the Dell Axim X51V to be fitted with the larger battery pack.
kdxn said:I have the 2250mAh battery plus some foam infiller to bring the Axim to the front of the Otterbox 2600.

Are you sure Axim x51v with big battery will fit into that Otterbox Armor 1900?
