GPS and Geocaching Questions

[35mm]

I currently use my Mogul for geocaching and it works pretty well. I do have a few concerns about using a TP for the same thing and was wondering if someone can answer some questions for me.

The biggest problem I have with the Mogul is it needs a cellular connection to initiate a GPS lock. Once GPS is found you can turn off the cellular radio and it will continue to work fine. This can be a major problem when you are in the boonies and can not get a cell signal.

Question #1.
Can you soft reset a TP, turn off the cell radio, then connect to GPS?

The GPS in the Mogul works very well at walking speeds, this is important when your goal is 50 feet away and you take a few steps, you have to see if the distance gets smaller or bigger. I think the Touch had a problem with this because the refresh rate of the GPS was way too slow making it unusable while walking.

Question #2.
Is the TP GPS accurate when walking? A good way to check this is to install BeeLine GPS http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/ and see if it can track you while walking.

Thanks in advance.
