I have been using an older transeiver and feel comfortable. How does this work? Does it point you in the right direction and acually have a dot on the screen where the victim is along with others in a multiple burial?

yes. acurate graphical representation of all beacons within the search range. arrows to help point you to closest signal and sound. When a situation occurs, you open the beacon and follow the arrows, numbers and sounds to quickly get to the victims. All the technology built into this tool makes it a more functional field tool for pit analysis and when it comes to being fastest, it is about how well practiced you are at responding in an extremely stressful situation and how familiar you are with your beacon.
