Compass Caravan
While all models of handheld GPS systems are a little different, there are some across the board similarities. If you've never used one before, this should give you a good idea of how to use it the first time out.
The first step is getting the GPS powered up then allowing time to gain a satellite signal. Sometimes this will take a few minutes depending on where you are and what type of antenna you're using. Most GPS will have an info page that tells you the current status of the satellite aquisition.
Next, go to the Waypoints page, (again most handheld GPS systems will have one of these) then select the GoTo option. You'll now start getting information (directions, estimated travel time, ETA, speed etc) on your display that will guide you to your waypoint destination.
Get back to your starting point using the Track Log. Using this will leave a trail of "breadcrumbs" to all waypoints you've travelled to. Just reverse your direction and follow the breadcrumbs home, its important that you've kept the GPS on while travelling.
You can plan out your route using the Routes page of most handheld GPS systems. Just pick the waypoints you wish included on the trek, and the GPS will guide you using that specific set of waypoints.
As always, make sure you bring a separate map and compass for backup, as well as extra batteries. While the GPS should give you a lot of piece of mind when out in the woods, like any electronic device it can fail you at the worst possible moment, or just lose the satellite feed. For these reasons you need to protect yourself with the good old-fashioned tools of the trade.

Does electric hook up provide electric to everything in a touring caravan or do you need a battery? thanks?
The carvan is a compass echo 1988, If I need a battery will a car battery do and does it charge whilst driving?
If I turn up on site with with electric hook up and no battery, will all of the 12V appliances and lights etc work?
Usually the mains supplies the sockets and the built in battery charger. Everything else is normally 12V. You will need to put a battery onto this system to keep it regulated, otherwise the lights will get dimmer as your turn more of them on. The water pump and heater use 12V usually too. (plus gas for the heaters). You're better to use a 'leisure' battery than a car battery, since flattening car batteries damages them. It's essential that you switch everything off before attaching/detaching the battery, since they can produce hydrogen. Having seen two batteries explode, you don't want to be near one if that happens - avoid sparks.
