GPS Books

[Red Mountain Mutts]

As a newcomer to geocaching, I'm wondering if anyone can advise me of a good general book about navigation with a GPS?

[dave and jaime]

check out this web page, besides that your manual is a great resource if you have an understanding of the basics of navigation.

I would highly recommend GPS Made Easy: Using Global Positioning Systems in the Outdoors by Lawrence Letham. It's published by Rocky Mountain Books.
