GPS Land
Navigation: A Complete Guidebook for Backcountry Users of the Navstar
Satellite System
"GPS Land Navigation is a book I could not put down once I
started reading it. It's loaded with easy to read and understand
information that the GPS owners manuals don't tell you. It explains about
UTM (universal tranverse mecator) as an alternative to the normal
latitude/longitude mode of operation. This mode is a grid system that
shows you EXACTLY where you are on any topographic map at any time without
the use of any mapping tools needed; it is so very simple"...
