A Guide for the Outdoors
By Robert I. Egbert and Joseph E. King
GPS (Global Positioning System) has revolutionized how people find their way in the wilderness - and on the road. Each year, thousands of people get lost while hunting, hiking, camping or birdwatching. This new book will help. It's a thorough guide to the selection and use of a GPS receiver to make time in the outdoors safer, easier and more fun. Includes complete, up-to-date information on how GPS works, choosing and using the latest equipment, linking to laptops, cell phones and PDAs, coordinating with maps, software options and much, much more. The authors know of which they speak - both are long-time outdoorsmen and orienteers. Softbound.
