Product Description

Product Description

Whether you're hiking, fishing, kayaking, cross-country skiing, or taking a mountain bike ride in the backcountry, 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, the most complete, easy-to-use GPS book available, is your guide to getting the most out of a receiver, from basic consumer advice to advanced techniques. Starting with essential definitions such as UTM coordinate systems, position formats, and map datums, and moving on to creating "waypoints," and using your GPS with a computer, long-time GPS instructor Stephen W. Hinch breaks down the jargon and teaches you what you really need to know.



  • An emphasis on practical applications over technical theory.

  • Examples include illustrative screenshots from the newest receivers--from top companies like Garmin, Magellan, and DeLorme.

  • Lists up-to-date Web resources for the rapidly changing technology of GPS and its uses.



About the Author
Author and photographer Stephen W. Hinch has taught courses in GPS navigation to police and fire personnel, park rangers, search-and-rescue staff, and recreational outdoor enthusiasts since 1998. His experiences as a GPS instructor have shown that many of the most common classroom questions about GPS aren't adequately explained either in GPS instruction manuals or existing guidebooks. Trained as an electrical engineer, he has over 25 years of management experience in the high-technology industry.

First Sentence
THE IDEA OF USING SATELLITES for navigation has been around since at least the late 1950s, when those few satellites in orbit were still the size of basketballs and neither the US nor the USSR had yet launched a man into space. Read the first page
