5.0 out of 5 stars Oh...so that's how it works., September 12, 2007

This review is from: GPS & Land Navigation (DVD)

My GPS was like a magic box to get me from my truck, out into the woods, then back to my truck. Now I know how and why it works. Plus I can go into the Setup area (which was scary before) and understand the options (like how to switch to UTM which has helped me find my tree stand in the dark of morning!). I would recomend this DVD even if you already have a GPS but don't think you're getting the most out of it.

A valuable teaching tool! This DVD goes beyond the functional explanation of various manufacturers and teaches you how to get the most out of your GPS and other navigational tools. It uses practical examples in a clear and easy to understant format. It offers valuable advice for anyone thinking about buying a GPS and for those who are advanced users. A great, affordable gift for birthdays or holidays for all outdoorsmen.

Thanks to this product, I'm now able to use my map, compass and GPS together to stay safe and maximize my outdoor experiences.

This review is from: GPS & Land Navigation (DVD)

Being new to hand held GPS techniques, I purchased The GPS & Land Navigation DVD, hoping to acquire detail information about GPS techniques. I was very disappointed. This product only tells part of the story. Most subjects are casually mentioned, NOT a lot of detail, the one exception, however, is the UTM system. With a bit more effort, this could have been a great DVD. Each topic presented appears to be rushed.

One reviewer complained about the author using the Garmin Etrex Vista for illustration. That's not a valid complaint. To illustrate a concept, a typical product is used [by books, DVDs, etc] and this is certainly a popular handheld GPS.

This DVD will give you an over view of GPS navigation. You will want to acquire additional sources for complete detail information. A book I found helpful is "Outdoor Navigation with GPS" by Stephen W. Hinch.
