Outdoor Navigation with GPS (WP) With its ability to pinpoint your location anywhere on the globe, GPS is the best tool for finding your way since the invention of the compass. Whether you’re trekking through the wilderness or taking a mountain bike ride, a GPS receiver can help you reach your destination and return safely — but only if you know how to use it! Outdoor Navigation with GPS is your guide to getting the most out of a GPS receiver, from basic consumer advice to advanced techniques for hikers, backpackers, cyclists, and outdoor adventurers of all interests. Starting with definitions of the essentials such as UTM coordinate systems, position formats, and map datums, and moving on to creating “waypoints,” long-time GPS instructor Stephen W. Hinch breaks down the jargon and teaches you what you really need to know. Moving on to techniques that combine GPS with map and compass skills for more ambitious journeys, using your GPS with a personal computer for easy trip-planning, custom map-making, and record-keeping of your explorations, this book is the most complete, easy-to-use GPS book out there. And with entire chapters focused on highway navigation as well as geocaching and other fun GPS-inspired sports, you’ll be headed outside in no time in search of adventure. Whether you’re a hiker, fisherman, kayaker, cross-country skier, mountain biker, photographer, or a treasure-hunting family, Outdoor Navigation with GPS will help you find your way. An emphasis on practical applications over technical theory. Many examples include illustrative screenshots from the newest receivers—from top companies like Garmin, Magellan, and DeLorme. Paperback. 204 pages. Size: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” Price: $16.95 Ships Immediately. Part # 30035
