I had a yellow Etrex and I gave it to my son, Doodles, when I bought the Etrex Mariner. I used both of them last weekend at Men's Retreat and on the way to and from said event. We had no problems with it. I was able to get it to zoom into around 15-25 feet which is what it has always done. So no problems here maybe just an off day. Try it again before losing what little mind you have left Beanie. -$piritwing Edwin G. Biesemeyer Track your Dollar BillsEver wonder where your money goes.
