+George1 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 What books would anyone suggest to read on how to use a GPS, and work with it. I have heard that the book "GPS Made Easy" is an older book and not up with todays technology, could anyone tell me if that is so. George Quote Link to comment
Rubbertoe Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I'm sceptical that a person can find anything in a book that they wouldn't learn themself, or by reading these forums for a while. Having said that, let me also say that I've never even picked up a GPS book - let alone read one. They might be great. Personally, I think using a GPS is one of those "go out there and do it" things rather than something you have to read up on much. For me, nothing beats the enjoyment of going out into the woods and guiding myself around, trying out new features... reading about it would only get me jazzed up to go running outside.

+Poindexter Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I highly recommend GPS Land Navigation: A complete guidebook for backcountry users of the NAVSTAR Satellite System. Check the reviews at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0965220257/qid=1041118182/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-0218264-6546268?v=glance&s=books These forums can be a great source of information but some of these folks really don't know what the heck their talking about. Not that books are 100% correct, but they generally are pretty reliable. This book isn't just about using a GPS, it's about navigating. Poindexter Quote Link to comment
+carivercpl Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Here is my two cents worth... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0898156270/102-1544079-0256110?vi=glance Quote Link to comment
