Skills for the Hills 2019 In depth Navigation with GPS

This class will be a review of UTMs and Lat/Long. We will discuss what GPS and GLONASS are, how “GPS” works and its limitations, functions on your GPS units, Datums, Positions Formats and working through the screen options.

We will cover, hands-on, setting waypoints, learning about tracks, tra ckback, compass and altimeter calibration, route planning, using route-plan ner, and blue-tooth transfer of waypoints. This discussion will be based on the Garmin GPSMAP 64st unit. Other GPS units will have the same main funct ions, so the discussion is “transferable”.

Time pending, we can go ou tside and find a few points nearby so have hiking shoes and clothes appropr iate for the weather, this is optional. This class is designed as a follow up to our Basic Map & Compass class, but it is not a prerequisite.

< p>Please bring your own GPS unit. Sorry, we do not have any units to loan o ut.

FYI - Garmin In-Reach (a two-way communication tool with 100K map s) is not a true GPS unit with advanced mapping and navigational tools. How ever, it can be used as such in an emergency. We will not be discussing the In-reach type unit’s features, so bring your user manual. For daily hiking use as a true GPS, the In-Reach is a bit clunky when trying to make it do what a real GPS navigation tool does. (If you have the money, get both – a two-way communication tool and a GPS unit).

GPS units to consider: I like the Garmin GPSMAP 64 SC and the new Garmin GPSMAP 66 series because it is easy to use and you can use it with gloves on in cold weather. If you h ave questions as to our recommendations or want to discuss before buying on e, feel free to contact us.
