Anyone here use a GPS unit in heavily wooded areas on a regular basis?
I know (anecdotally)(I didn't spell that right, did I?) that a few years ago a signal was hard to recieve under heavy canopy. Has this improved? If so, what manufacturers put out the best unit? Anyone know how the new Motorola Nextel phones with GPS capability work in the woods?
We may have a job in the near future in a wooded area in which a GPS unit may be helpful. Didn't know how many of you used one and how they worked, so I'm asking.
Also, how do you guys (and gals?) go about clearing a skidder trail for logging? I've seen the result, just haven't seen it done.....
TIA!!!!
