- A simple UK focused guide to GPS
This is a reasonably up to date guide to the fast moving world of GPS that reveals what you can and can't do with your gps.

It also explained a lot about how to use GPS and will be a standby when I want to expand, eg with using it abroad.

Furthermore, the book is written for the British reader which means more explanation on how to ... Read More
