[Az-Geocaching] GPS: problem locking on enough satellites and more

[Bill]

I just bought a book from Coleman called the Arizona Atlas and Gazetteer.  It was $11 at
Costco.  It has a lot of info on public lands, parks, etc., and 1:250,000 topos of the whole
state with GPS tic marks on the edge.  I haven't checked the accuracy yet, and much larger
scale maps are available, but this looks handy to carry and didn't cost much.  Perhaps someone
with more experience with it can comment on the accuracy.
