Getting Started with GPS

£45 Age 16+
13:40 – 16:40

This course will take you step by step, through the basic functions of using GPS. Starting on-site with basic functions such as inputting waypoints, and using GOTO functions. Later in the afternoon we will use Geocaching (a type of treasure hunt) to put, our new found skills into practice. You are welcome to bring your own GPS or try out ours!
A basic understanding of map and compass work is useful.
