Every month, over 200,000 GPS units are sold to recreational users in the U.S. Learning to use a GPS is fairly straightforward; choosing which software to use is not. GPS Mapping - Make Your Own Maps guides readers through the challenging choices they face and shows them how to combine the fun of high-tech with the security of paper maps. Covering all major brands of mapping software, it also explores sources of free software and maps, how to use aerial photos and satellite imagery, and how to view backcountry locations in 3-D. GPS Mapping reduces a reader's learning curve and gets them mapping right away. The Author, Rich Owings has been an avid outdoorsman for 30 years. An experienced explorer of the wilderness, he resides on California's wild and rugged north coast. As Executive Director of Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, he has contributed numerous articles to conservation journals. When not making or studying maps, he prefers to be mountain biking, backpacking, canyoneering or hiking. - Learn to make your own outdoor maps
