I think if folks did a little test, drop a marker buoy in the water, blind themselves to any outside visuals, only the GPS screen, then see how tight they can stay to a marker buoy. I can guarantee they ain't gonna stay tight enough to keep a jig from hanging in a brushpile, and probably not stay within a 10 foot radius.
This is true. However, ff you really gotta need to stay on a brush pile with a gps, get a Trimble handheld. It keeps you within an inch of your waypoint.
