Knowing how to use a GPS receiver is fast becoming a “must-have” skill, so if you need to know where you are, where you’re going, or where you have been, then contact Compassworks.  Our “Introduction to GPS” is our most popular course, so if you have been given a GPS receiver as a gift, bought one (or are thinking of doing so), don’t struggle with the manual - contact Compassworks and we will do the rest!
