This unit works real well with the DeLorme mapping software on my laptop computer. I use the laptop to find a parking area near the cache, and then I switch to my Garmin E-trex Venture HC to walk to the cache. The Earthmate seems to be as sensitive as the Garmin under tree cover, but the Garmin is a lot easier to carry than the Earthmate and laotop.
