You will learn you how to operate your GPS – what the buttons do, what the screens show, and how to access the functions you need. By the time you have completed the seminar, you will be able to store waypoints into your GPS, activate them for navigation, and use GPS to keep you on a safe, pre-qualified course of your choosing.
You’ll also get some tips for choosing a GPS if you don’t currently own one. You will get a waterproof McGraw-Hill Captain’s Quick Guide Using GPS to take aboard to remind you of the steps, or to show another of your crew how to use your GPS.
This course is now being offered to the public and was prepared by individuals who have had extensive experience using GPS. One of the instructors was a member of the original GPS design and deployment team, Bob Sweet, has written two best selling McGraw-Hill books – GPS for Mariners and The Weekend Navigator as well as quick guides on GPS, VHF, Weather, and Boat Handling, and informational chart products for MAPTECH Inc.
