Just started out in Skydiving ops. What is a relatively affordable GPS unit to purchase that will aid with para ops? Any tips or tricks on how to best utilise GPS when flying above broken/overcast cloud? <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Any portable with:
-At list 12 channels,
-No need for a data base
-A remote antenna (very important)......will do the job.

Mark your usual target on the ground and during the flight , punch direct (if needed) when you get the good bearing (depending your spot location).

And don't forget, unless you're an Aussie, you're not suppose to drop on top :)
