- Sometimes mine gets wacky too. I turn the electronic compass off then back on, and that usually fixes the problem. Sometimes I recalibrate it, and it seems to be on track after that as well. Not sure what causes it to go wacky to begin with, but as long as I can fix it, I just fix it and move on. By thetime I get home, I forget about it and never see if there is anyone who knows if there is a way to fix it.

I know a lot of people prefer to use their maps when looking for caches, but I norrmally use my maps only as a means of getting meto the area. Once there I prefer to use the compass pointer. Lately, i've noticed that my pointer (only when walking, it works fine while driving) often points away from the direction of the cache even though the display shows the distance to the cache decreasing as I approach. Do any of you have any ideas what the deal is??? Thanks!
