5.0 out of 5 stars
This really is the best "how to use" guide for hikers and climbers.,

This review is from: GPS Made Easy: Using Global Positioning Systems in the Outdoors (Paperback)
I'm an alpine climber and have had a Garmin GPS for a few years now, however, the user guide materials leave a lot to be desired. I wanted more of a practical use guide for navigating in the field and also for plotting courses on my PC and then using them in the field. I really was not interested in GPS use in a car, or airplane, or a kayak, etc. I use my GPS for wilderness navigation and mountaineering., so I wanted a book that would show me specifically how to use my GPS features in those settings. I ended up researching and purchasing several promising looking books that claimed to fit the bill. This one is far and away the best one. The instructions--many of them based on practical scenarios--are excellent, as are the images and screencaptures (the screencaptures of GPS user screens are mostly from Garmin GPSs, so its all the more user friendly for Garmin users.

This is a great little book for those of us just starting out with a GPS and need more than the teeny instructions that come with a GPS.

This review is from: GPS Made Easy: Using Global Positioning Systems in the Outdoors (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource to learn how GPS works and also how to navigate using TOPO maps and a compass. The author provides great advice on how to prepare for navigating and how not to just rely on electronics to get where you are going.
