Cockpit and Small Boat GPS

<body> <h1>Cockpit GPS and Small Boat GPS</h1> <p>Before I start, you should have a contents frame to the left of this page.  If not, <a href="http://cockpitgps.web.aplus.net/" target="_top">click here</a>.  </p> <p>I have two texts on this site, Cockpit GPS and Small Boat GPS.  Both books are meant to explain how to use GPS, especially handheld GPS.  They are not meant to replace the manual, but to supplement it.  An owner's manual for a calculator will tell you which buttons to press to get a function, but it will no teach you math.  </p> <p>The texts are free downloads with a voluntary contribution.  I have spent quite a bit of time writing this information.  If you find this information useful, come back and sign my guest book.  Consider, ego gratification to be my minimum payment.  I also have links where you can help support this site financially to help defray the cost of the site and hopefully even support my gadget budget.</p> <p>Cockpit GPS is obviously for flying.  Small Boat GPS is a more general text with emphasis on boating applications.  However, much of what is in Small Boat GPS is applicable to many recreational activities.  </p> <p>Both texts are meant to be read as booklets in printed form.  Thus, I have them available as .pdf files to facilitate printing.  The easiest way of getting a printed copy is to have it printed at an internet connected copy shop such as Kinkos.  I have also translated the files into .html for reading within the browser.</p> <p>Whether you are reading the .html or the .pdf version, the download is large and might take a while using a dial up modem -- be patient.  Good web design would have me separate the files into smaller sections.  However, the master document is a Word file and it is fairly easy to translate the whole document at once.  Since, I often make updates this is important.  One advantage is that both the .pdf version and the .html version allow navigation within the text with a frame on the left.  </p> <p>My recommendation is to get a printed version.  Below are the files, but you might want to go to <a href="hints/hints.htm">Hints, Tricks, and Problem Solving</a> for some tips on downloading, navigating, and printing the files.</p> <p><a href="main_contents.htm">Click here </a>to go to the page that is the contents frame of the site with frames.</p> </body>
