Through the ages, visionaries, seekers of new land, leaders, adventurers, have navigated the Earth using the stars, a compass and a map. In today's society  there is more navigational information needed for traveling and enhanced tools to track it and manage this information.

Using a GPS system enhances the visionaries, seekers of new land, leaders, adventurers with the ability for tracking, storing, recalling, plotting positions on Earth as well as finding new positions to go to, share spots, and plan routes - they become position aware!  These are powerful tools of modern people to enhanced their life experiences.

Below are brief insights into the possibilities for today's visionaries, seekers of new land, leaders, adventurers, and people who want to live their life to the fullest!  Get Out There!

GPS Enhanced Hiking/Trekking/Snowshoeing/Exploring...etc.

You want to hike from the gate of Zion National Park to the top of Observation Point and back. Before leaving home, plot the exact route in your GPS system; then track your progress while on the trail, referring to your GPS system's display and any offered guidance enhancement functionality.  Be position aware, noting your current elevation, distance traveled, distance remaining to your target, etc., while referring to your GPS system.

Basemap GPSPlotter Systems -- With a World Basemap GPSPlotter system by Garmin International, view the current elevation which corresponds to elevation numbers on the TOPO map display loaded in the basemap.  GPS provides real feedback to verify the current position on a world map, the intended route highlighted on the map, and a dotted line indicating the path taken already, which comes in handy for a safe return back!

The Modern UTM Universal Earth Grid Coordinates System -- By using the modern UTM universal Earth grid coordinates system, one can plot any position on a Topo map using two simple grid numbers.  Then, anyone can enter those two numbers into a GPS system and press a button to set the GPS system's "Go To" function for guidance to the very spot on Earth!  The GPS system will point to the general direction of the position and offer additional trip related data.

UTM coordinates can also be used when working from the GPS in the field and plotting the positions on a map.  Take a position reading of the present position with the press of 1-button on the GPS system.  Next using the UTM grid numbers and a simple UTM roamer grid-scale tool, plot the position on a TOPO map of the region.  'X' marks the spot!  It's easy to do, fast, very practical, universal around the world and fun!  This functionality makes GPS systems popular with adventures, travelers, and people that work in the outdoors or on the road.

GPS-enabled hiking is safer and will provide a significantly greater degree of confidence to explore further with greater position and environment awareness, yielding a rewarding and satisfying personal experience!

GPS Should Always Be Used With A Compass And Current Map!

YOU must know and understand how to use them. You must understand how your GPS unit works and its capabilities before venturing out. And, for those who travel off road, a knowledge of using a GPS map and UTM grid positioning  along with a topographical map is a must!

I have traveled the world with my GPS unit to remember places I have been to and may want to return back some day or share with others. I simply transfer my saved spots into a PC and then onto CD-R disc or floppy disk for safe storage.

When I feel like planning a new adventure, I simply load the information into a software mapping program on a PC and plan. When its time for the adventure, I load the saved spots into my GPS unit along with planned routes if needed and I am ready.

During the planning stage, I use a UTM grid tool and Topo map to find UTM grid positions of the places I want to visit. I can then take the two UTM grid numbers and enter them into the GPS unit.

With the GPS filled with preplanned locations, I can now use it to point me in the direction of the place I would like to check out right now. The GPS will point me in the direction of the saved location I would like to go to. Simple! Time Saving!

I have saved Dive spots while on charter dive boats, while visiting outback wineries, while on a great path in a forest where a breath taking view was to be had, or when I found a great little shop. I have found a GPs unit great for saving spots for future planning on trips. It has also been a great tool for my prospecting adventurers - I plot where I have searched so I don't waste time repeating myself next trip out. It makes for a great mapping tool as well.

Get out and enjoy life while you can and enhance your adventures with a GPS unit matched for your adventure or navigating needs. Webmaster.
