Welcome to this month’s GPS training podcast

We are again live streaming on Facebook

Again, we are streaming on Facebook the recording of us all recording the Podcast, so if you want to see what we all look like take a look at our Facebook page –

1. Just search for GPS Training on Facebook and don’t forget to ‘like’ our page.

So, without further ado let’s get on with today’s podcast ……

In today’s podcast we are going to look and chat over the following –

1. Garmin Express, is this the way forward?

2. We have an ‘in the field’ look at the Garmin TOPO PRO mapping, the 1:25k mapping from Garmin that has off road routable data in National Parks.

3. Andy’s top tips – both SatMap and Garmin

4. The big debate – Walking with your GPS set up as Track up or North up?

5. Free access to our GPS Training online resource – for 1 month only
1. Garmin Express, what is it and what can you do with it –

It enables you to manage your GPS device from your desktop (both PC and Mac) and many things can now be done now with Garmin Express.

• You can

– Register all units
– Update unit software in units, rather than Web updater of doing this through Garmin BaseCamp
– Update Topo Active maps (Touch 20, 30, 25, 35, 750t)
– Oregon 7xx – connect it to your wifi
– Manage Connect IQ apps on your Oregon 7xx series
2. Putting the Garmin TOPO PRO 1:25k through their paces.

 

3. Andy’s top tips

• Garmin – Sellotape over map card

4. The big debate – Walking with your GPS as North up or Track up

Before we jump into this debate we need to clarify what the difference is.

– What is the difference?

– Can we change this setting on both Garmin and SatMap GPS units?

– Are there any battery save benefits from one or the other?
5. Free access to our online resource – for one month only
