GPS for Mariners
The
GPS for Mariners course is flexible
enough that it can be structured around a half-day format for a
basic introduction to GPS or a full-day experience that gets more
heavily into navigating with GPS, utilizing and setting waypoints
and more advanced navigational applications with GPS. Those
interested in the full-day course may also be good candidates for
our Navigation course
