    Default GPSmap76CSx >> Bearing and Distance to a Waypoint

    I am acquiring a piece of property.
    A staking survey was done on it in 2005.
    it gives bearings and distances between the corner stakes.
    I want to physically locate the corner posts.
    One corner is a survey spike, probably magnetic.
    The other three are rebar stakes.
    Finding the spike and one of the rebar stakes along the roadway should not be too difficult.
    The lot is officially 100' X 435.6', a long narrow 1 acre lot.
    Finding the two rebar stakes at the rear of the lot will be more problematical.
    It is heavily over grown with tropical under brush, deserving of the term "jungle".

    Now, if I locate the front two corners and set waypoints for them on the GPS, I'm thinking that I should be able to use my GPSmap76CSx to indicate the distance and bearing to the waypoints allowing me to approximately locate where the rear stakes are.
    Can my GPS be used this way?
    If so, how?
