In this practical guide to navigating with a GPS, navigation expert Pete Hawkins explains how to get the best from your GPS.  He breaks down the jargon into understandable English and takes you through GPS navigation in a clear and structured way.  He also recognises that strong traditional navigational skills are the basis for effective GPS navigation, and gives a potted summary of how to navigate with a map and compass. He also takes a look at digital mapping and how that can benefit the outdoor user and how GPSs and mapping software can be used positively together.
