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.
