GPS – How to navigate your navigational tool

Join us for an informal, hands-on, discussion of how to navigate the GPS unit’s menus. We will be focusing our discussion on the Garmin GPSMAP 64 unit, but the many functions and features in this unit are transferable to other GPS units. We will be working with the datums, position formats and calibration of the GPS altimeters and compass. More so too, how to set up the scroll bars and menu features to make accessing these important features easier. Bring your own GPS unit, share tricks and tips you have learned. Our goal is to raise your understanding of how to navigate this important tool.

Skills for the Hills is Alpine Rescue Team's public wilderness and backcountry education program. Our classes are free, however, we appreciate donations online or at the door. We never charge you, your family or the local authorities for search and rescue.
