Exploring With GPS: A Practical Field Guide for Satellite Navigation

2010-11-30T10:42:00.001-06:00

Exploring With GPS presents a practical approach to using the Global Positioning System in the outdoors using mapping GPS receivers,
digital topographic maps, and satellite
imagery. The book uses realistic scenarios and plenty of screen shots and photos to show you how to find your way
in the backcountry quickly and easily. This book is for hunters, rescue teams, hikers, mountain bikers,
anglers, geocachers, backpackers, cross-country skiers, snowshoers, boaters, and everyone who uses recreational
GPS in the outdoors. Using GPS, anyone,
anywhere on Earth, can find their position within a few feet using an inexpensive hand-held GPS
receiver. That simple ability has completely revolutionized every field that uses positioning, navigation, and timing
information, including outdoor recreation. Not only can you find your way through the wilderness
with unerring precision regardless of weather, location, or time of day, you can work with computers and the World Wide Web
to plan your outdoor adventures from home. You can record our trip in the field, download it to a computer,
attach labels, graphics, elevation profiles, comments and photos, and then share it with friends or publish it
for all to see on the Internet. As a result there is a rapidly growing amount of free trip and backcountry
information on the Web. This book shows you how to tap into this remarkable capability to make your own outdoor
adventures safer and more enjoyable.

Santa Integrates GPS Technology

2009-11-19T10:38:00.004-06:00

Santa has upgraded his reindeer team with the latest GPS technology. Santa said, "Although my reindeer are fully capable of finding their way to every home in the world at the speed of light, for safety and efficiency reasons, we have integrated the latest GPS technology into the nose of lead reindeer Rudolph. To be honest with you, my team of elf engineers were actually in on the original development of GPS technology and we have used it since the early 1950's. If you take a close look at Rudolph and have watched the "Rudolph" stories on television, you may have realized that we had attempted to cover the blinking red nose with black coloring, black covers, etc. It was early on that we realized covering the red blinking nose was not in our best interest." Santa went on to explain that the magic used to generate power to the blinking nose easily gave us a power source to run the GPS system. Additionally, the antlers on Rudolph are a sophisticated antennae system. The entire system not only assist in delivery of Christmas items, but more importantly, "...keeps my team from being hit by space shuttles, aircraft, and missiles." Additionally, this permits NORAD to be able to track Santa and his Christmas team.
