[QUOTE="condor22, post: 594318, member: 1932"] If you are navigating obstacles, it would then become difficult to detect. :) I find walking with a detector in use, in one hand and sometimes a pick in the other, I run out of hands to navigate , lol. Yes, I only get line of sight, but most of the VIC areas are relatively flattish. So, if I carry my GPS switched on in a pocket, it often loses satellite anyway. As a guesstimate, in 7 years of detecting, I've only needed to used it 1/2 dozen times. When I have, the furthest I've been from my car is around 600 metres. However, if I'm just wandering around the bush as in a walk, I would leave it on. I don't advocate either option to others, only what I do as an option, it's up to the individual. :) [/QUOTE]
