Chapter 2: GPS Information 2.1 About Satellite Navigation Global satellite navigation is an exciting technology, providing enhanced productivity and accuracy in a vast number of industries. It adds a new level of enjoyment and safety to a wide range of navigation, sports, and recreational activities.
Chapter 2: GPS Information 2.3 A Word on the Safe Usage of GPS Maps Just like paper maps, maps on GPS devices vary greatly in terms of information included and visual presentation. Whether topographical maps, roadmaps or marine charts, each map and the data it presents is designed for a specific purpose. For example, marine charts will often present only a minimal representation of roadways and are not a substitute for street maps.
Chapter 2: GPS Information 2.6 GPS Maps and Your Safety Remember, your GPS device is an aid to navigation. It must be used with common sense, and it is important that users interpret GPS map data with a critical eye. Landscapes and roads change or may be impassable, trees and tall buildings can obscure GPS signals, and your GPS device may not always reflect the complete picture.
