GPS Afloat: GPS Navigation Made Simple Book Description

The Global Positioning System (GPS) will pinpoint a boat's position to within a few yards, and give a course to steer to its destination (the waypoint). This book explains how the system works and how to navigate safely and efficiently - in daylight, darkness or in fog.
