- I have the same problem with my 60C. Points me in the wrong direction while walking. My Garmin Legend does not and I find myself using that more after I get out of the car. You can turn the electronic compass off entirely if you want and see what happens, I do once in a while. I've also noticed that the faster I walk, the more accurate the 60c is. I would suggest running to the cache. That also gives you more time to do more caches! Works for me, unless I'm going uphill then gravity has a profound influence on us BIG guys.
