12 tips for getting more from your GPS Here are some tips for all you outdoor enthuisiasts, designed to help you get more from your GPS on the trail: Most GPS units come with a cable, allowing you to connect it to your computer. If yours didn’t, buy one. Get a software program that allows you to print customized maps, showing your waypoints, previous trails you have taken, etc. CD-based map sets like National Geographic TOPO! are great for this. Use your mapping software to mark waypoints of hidden trail junctions, so you don’t miss them. Download a program for viewing aerial photos. USAPhotoMaps is free, while the more versatile TopoFusion is only $40. Aerial photos are usually more current than topo maps and are a great way to find new 4WD roads and trails. While in the field, use your GPS to mark unexplored roads and trails, so that you can return and check them out in the future. To keep an eye on your progress at a glance, set your data screen for the most important fields, such as elevation, distance to next waypoint, etc. Create waypoints of major peaks and other significant features, to help you identify them when checking out those awesome views.

Apologies TypePad, my blogging platform and host, has had major problems over the past 24 hours. My apologies if you experienced problems reaching any of my posts during this time, or saw erratic displays when you did get here. This was totally beyond my control but all seems well now. Many blogging platforms and associated services have had problems this year due to the incredible growth of the blogosphere. I'm hoping we won't see problems of this magnitude at TypePad again.
