Hi Folks, I'm so new to detecting & positioning that I'm still really at the concept & research stage. Whilst I'm still mulling over what detector to get I can certainly see the dimensional support a good electronic co-ordinates compass could provide. What I want to do is take historical co-ordinate records to locate a particular area to search for relics, & then record the exact/near exact site co-ordinates for what I find within that area; virtually a circle within a circle record keep. Whilst I live in Oz, I would be hunting in northern France, so ready access to electronic localised maps must be a feature. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated, & if you could throw in a suggestion on a very good relic detector it would also be welcome too.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?16,1232470,1232470#msg-1232470Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:24:13 -0500 Phorum 5.2.18 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?16,1232470,1582278#msg-1582278 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?16,1232470,1582278#msg-1582278 Steve O Global Positioning System (GPS) Classroom ForumSun, 13 Nov 2011 14:11:08 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?16,1232470,1232470#msg-1232470 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?16,1232470,1232470#msg-1232470What I want to do is take historical co-ordinate records to locate a particular area to search for relics, & then record the exact/near exact site co-ordinates for what I find within that area; virtually a circle within a circle record keep.
