Huh? Dead reckoning is a VERY old school (pre-GPS) NAVIGATION technique (essentially, it is "plan B", when it's too cloudy at nite to see the stars) that tells you the HEADING that you need to be on, NOT the range at which your target "bogies" lie (I'm not talking golf here)!

But I think I understand the "statement" that you trying to make. I have the infamous ranger eye 1500 (ATN), with all of its "quarks", let's call them. Every time it starts acting up on me (like for instance when the display blanks out, and won't come back up for a good minute or so - or it unexpectedly switches to meters), I curse and say to myself that I should have bought an (bushnell) Elite, or at least a Pinseeker w/slope, instead.

But you imply that THEY also NFG?
