Description

I wanted to make a fun toy for my little nephew, and I thought this would be a cool idea. It uses GPS and a compass to find your location and heading, and you preprogram GPS locations that it will direct towards. I will hide geocaches in various locations for him to find using this. Its going to be a Christmas gift.
