For about $150
anyone can plug into the United States' multi-billion dollar GPS
program. Whether you're a hiker on a weekend trip through the Great
Smokies, a backpacker cruising the Continental Divide Trail, a mountain
biker kicking up dust in Moab, a paddler running the Lewis and Clark
bicentennial route, or a climber pre-scouting the routes up Mount
Shasta, a simple handheld GPS unit is fun, useful, and can even be a
lifesaver..
Described in conjunction with today's most popular GPS software, easy
to understand information enables you to
* Plan your trip
* Navigate along your route
* Gather data from your outing
* and then Analyze trip data after the
trip
Information is power, and a GPS unit is today's preferred tool to
harness the power of navigational technology for a more enjoyable, more
informative, and possibly safer outdoor experience.
