Who for:- Those people who have attended our "Introduction

for anyone wanting to practice
using their own GPS in a controlled environment.
This course is held in a friendly, relaxed
atmosphere to encourage maximum
learning.
What will be covered:-
- The best way to practice with a GPS unit is to actually get out into the "Great Outdoors"
and use it! So the Compassworks team have designed this totally outdoor day for
participants who wish to improve their practical GPS skills.
- As well as providing a chance to use all the main features of a GPS, and to iron
out any problems, the day will be a great opportunity to discuss with others the
techniques involved while navigating.
Method:- A totally outdoor day of practical exercises.
Terrain:- 7 - 9 kilometres over semi rough open moorland.
Equipment:- Participants will need to bring suitable clothing and
footwear for outdoor work.
