When they first came out we were courious about how
good they were at getting you back to a fishing spot
in the gulf, so we put one in a car, took a reading,
drove around town then asked it to take back the the
original spot. It put us in almost the the same tire
tracks. I'm sure they have gotten even better since
then. If it knows where it is that precisly then all
it needs is the time and a little math to give you
speed.
