Backpacker's Using a GPS: Digital Trip Planning, Recording, and Sharing is a complete guide to the digital mapping revolution including how to do it and how to join it. Plan your trip, record it with GPS, edit and enhance your maps (photos and videos), and share with the world. Include out- in-the-field instructions for using a GPS; how GPS works; basic field techniques; computer-based mapping with GPS; conventional navigation skills, etc. The Core Skills series breaks down its subject into the most important and useful topics, providing practical, necessary, and portable information that is useful in the field. Each title in the Backpacker Core Skills series will introduce readers to basic and intermediate skills needed to safely and successfully get along in the outdoors. We expect readers will carry these along in their pack or pocket and reference them as needed, therefore the text and images will be organized in a brief and accessible manner. The hallmark of these books is that they organize detailed, in-depth, practical content for immediate and fast reader access in a portable package. Each title will be 96 pages, include two popouts, and incorporate color photos, charts, and illustrations as needed throughout the interior.
