I often use my GPSr during the course of my workday. As my work, requires me to maintain many miles of dock space. I will use my hand held GPSr to record the location of any damage I may find. I also find the “Cross Track Error” a very useful feature of the receiver. It enables me to maintain a proper distance from the face of the docks when measuring water depth. I would much rather have a set of coordinates when trying to locate debris adrift in the channel. In the old days you might have to search an area of 2 to 3 thousand feet before you found what you were looking for. GPS in the work place for me is just what the Doctor ordered.

Sometimes I just have to leave work and try for a local FTF. The receiver is sometimes used to navigate into areas I need to go into for supply pick up.

Sometimes the urge is just too great to sit there when a new cache pops up basically right down the street from you.  How does that saying go? When ya gotta go, ya gotta go? |

I've heard tales of people that can go caching when the need arises.

Well I do inventory for RGIS I never leave home without my GPS. I don't know where all the store locations are around the city so I use google maps for the store location then put the coordinates google maps give and input them into my unit and I'm off to work.
It works great!

Another good use, see a GPSr is more than a toy.
