Book Reviews of Outdoor Navigation With GPS: Hiking, Geocaching, Canoeing, Kayaking, Fishing, Outdoor Photography, Backpacking, Mountain Biking
Book Review: This is the guide to get.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a Garmin eTrex but the instructions it came with were very vague. I checked out two books from the local library on outdoor navigation with a GPS. Although both books gave me an idea on how to use the GPS, they were also VERY confusing...and also somewhat vague. I went to Amazon and saw "Outdoor Navigation with GPS," and saw it had some pretty good reviews. The book was written in such a way to make a complex subject, outdoor navigation, much easier. It also helped me understand the functions on my GPS and how to use them in a real world situation. If an outdoor GPS confuses you like mine did, then this is DEFINITELY the book to get that will guide you on how it functions.

Summary of Outdoor Navigation With GPS: Hiking, Geocaching, Canoeing, Kayaking, Fishing, Outdoor Photography, Backpacking, Mountain Biking
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.
