Lecture: GPS Navigation: Using CalTopo and Gaia GPS

GPS Navigation: Using CalTopo and Gaia GPS Workshop - Mountaineers Seattle Program Center

This is the one-evening Zoom workshop for the "Introduction to GPS and Trip Planning" navigation course. This workshop follows an extensive and required online class that the students will do individually. During the workshop, each student will learn how to: 1) Create a custom map in CalTOPO including routes, waypoints, and overlays while working on their individual laptop. 2) Export their tracks and waypoints to Gaia GPS. 3) Learn how to navigate using Gaia and a compass. The students will have a "Final Exam" where they will plan a simple route in CalTOPO around their neighborhood (or anywhere) and then follow the route using Gaia while recording a track.
