Editorial Reviews
Review
"...helps boaters get the most out of this newest must-have boating gadget." -- Soundings, March 2004
"...will get you where you're going and, best of all, get you home." -- Long Island Boating World, January 2004
Product Description
GPS has forever transformed the art of navigation, but most sailors don't know how to use it effectively. This new handbook from the author of the hugely successful Basic Coastal Navigation serves as an invaluable guide to this essential device. Author Frank Larkin merges basic GPS techniques with tried and true principles of coastal navigation, making for a truly comprehensive tutorial. Clearly written and easily understood, the book guides readers through the maze of GPS options, focusing on simple GPS navigation procedures and presenting a set of criteria for selecting a GPS set appropriate for each sailor's individual needs. Suitable for both sail and powerboats, this fully illustrated book is highly recommended for self-study and reference as well as navigation classrooms.
