    Default new guy with a question

    I have a Garmin etrex legend that mainly gets used for hunting. The only thing I don't like about it is when you are navigating to a waypoint, it will not tell you which way to go unless you are moving. What model in this price range has a built in compass that will point me in the right direction whether I am ml oving or not?

    Hi
    Almost all recent models have 3-axis electronic compass

    You can add to the (outdated) list the most recent handhelds, for example new Etrex touch series, new Oregon6xx, Gpsmap 64, Monterra and new Montana.

    All you need is Electronic compass in device.

    You can filter devices with this component:

    eTrex® Touch 25 is the cheapest but it have a less rugged sensor screen.

    eTrex® 30x is compact and it have the control buttons what is similar for your device.
    GPSMAP® 64s is bigger but it have front-end control buttons.

    All of it have the readable color screen and they support satellite images if you need in that. All of they have the modern built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass that shows your heading even when you’re standing still, and you don’t have to hold it level to get an easy-to-understand display of your heading.
