NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC/REI GPS NAVIGATION DAY

Saturday, March 28th, 9:00 am at REI Sandy

Spend a day outdoors and an hour indoors with National Geographic GPS expert Jeff Caulfield and REI navigation specialists to learn how to use your GPS unit in the field. Participants should have some familiarity with GPS and/or have attended REI’s GPS 101 evening clinic. You’ll practice finding your way from point A to point B, first establishing where you are, and then where you want to go. Learn route-finding skills such as how to transfer waypoints from your PC to your GPS unit, how to use the U.T.M. grid system vs. latitude and longitude coordinates, and how to create your own custom maps.

Pre-registration is required in person or by phone at our REI Sandy location at 801-501-0850.

Tuition is $25 REI members, $35 non-members
