Here is a pocket-sized 'bible' of outdoors survival, providing basic keys on everything from using maps and compass to using an altimeter, navigating by kayak on lakes, understanding GPS navigation and how to choose and use a GPS unit, and even how to navigate by moon and sun alone. Photos, drawings, and a fold-out topographic map provide plenty of visual illustration and examples of the details and make for an invaluable instructional reference both in the field and for at-home study. <br /> <br />Diane C.

The explanations and expert guidance on choosing and using a compass, the distinction between magnetic and true north, choosing and using a GPS unit, how GPS works and its limitations (not just for north America but for other parts of the world as well) are definitely worth reading. I have learned a lot from this book. The book is not for land navigation only, it is also an indispensable aid for marine navigation. I sincerely think every sailor should have one in his sailboat (it measures only 8" x 4.5" x 0.5") as a reference book.

I also have the National Geographic PA Topo map software. I wanted more information on how to interpret topo maps and coordinates and apply the info for hiking and biking. At first I though the book had too much material on maps, but the more I got into it, I discovered that understanding maps is the foundation for using a compass and GPS. I think the book covers all aspects relative to understanding land navigation.

But I thought it would be specifically for the Garmin and it's not - it's just a general carrying case. Rating: 3 / 5 This product works; it has multiple carrying pockets.

The clips that go over the vent slats don't have enough tension or spring strength to hold the weight of the GPS unit. Hit a bump or go over a set of railroad tracks and you'll be fishing around on the floor for everything. Rating: 2 / 5 This device is a simple solution, but execution is really lacking.
