Screen calibration settings is normal for touchscreen devices, and useful when you find the accuracy degrades. As for handhelds, if it is equipped with a touchscreen like the Oregon, then there is the settings to do so too.

Not sure about Dakota, but as for Oregon series, here are the steps to calibrate the touch screen:
- Turn the Oregon off and power it back on again, holding the power button down as it initializes.
- After about 30 seconds you will enter a screen calibration page where you can recalibrate the touch screen.

Re: How to calibrate your GPS screen
my advice to all the newbies is that do not ever try to do it urself if u don know how to do it
i got a nightmare. the setting all gone! it took me for almost 1 hour to figure out how to reset it back!
