This GPS Training course is an ideal introduction to using GPS and digital mapping, giving you the skills to navigate confidently and safely in the mountains using a GPS unit. The day is a combination of outdoor exercises and indoor activities aimed at giving a practical insight into the potential of a GPS system and how to link it to digital mapping. If you already own a GPS unit then we will teach you how to get the most out it. We will also provide GPS receivers for those who do not own their own, giving a valuable insight into what they may be looking for before they go ahead and purchase. |
