Welcome to the Articles section
There's more to GPS than just buying a receiver and then following an on-screen pointer. The GPS network is a multi-billion dollar system and as such is probably the single most expensive piece of technology that we have access to.
Our articles have one purpose - to give you information on how to get the most from GPS.
We have four sections to this part of the site:
- The Basics:
Basic information on GPS and how to use GPS for a variety of activities. - Using GPS:
Your GPS receiver will have come with a manual but this only barely scratches the surface! This section looks at GPS in action, how users can get the most out of the system and tips and tricks from the experts.
- Hacking GPS:
This section is intended for people who want to take their GPS use beyond what the gear they buy offers - this section deals with customizing GPS receivers, off-the-shelf GPS accessories and also DIY GPS accessories. - Leisure:
Outdoor games and activities are responsible for making GPS receivers very popular. The ability to have pin-point positional accuracy has spawned a number of new outdoor leisure activities, as well as making existing outdoor activities safer.
