I think so.I was *fascinated* by it when I first got it.So fascinated that I decided to take it on a trip I took to Hong Kong and Dubai.While in Dubai I went on a "dune bashing" safari which took us about 75 miles into the Arabian desert...*truly the middle of nowhere*.Long story short...I stored a "reading" from when we passed what I think was a prison and then,entering the coordinates into google maps it came up exactly at the structure in the middle of nowhere.
Cool. Google is fun that way.
