Our orienteering-club cartographer bought a cheapish one (The Bushnell
450) to help produce 1:10000 forest maps.He tells me it's excellent - at least as accurate as a 100m surveyor's tape or wheel - *PROVIDED* what you're aiming at is reasonably flat and reflective, which trees aren't.
"Accurate" for our needs is 1-2%.
