Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is available for use in every facet of our outdoor experience. Improved navigation technology positively impacts on our lives.


Writers at Outdoor Adventures are preparing a series of articles on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for you in the next couple of weeks.

Use of GPS technology is now ubiquitous in our society. Vessels carry GPS chart plotters that contain complete digital charts of the ocean, dash mounted receivers direct drivers to an unfamiliar address, GPS receivers are found in Cellular phones and laptop computers, and a hiker can use their GPS like a modern trail of bread crumbs to find their way in and more importantly out of a new area of exploration.

GPS technology touches our lives and has had a significant impact on the quality of our outdoor experiences. Stay with us as we explore the many uses of GPS in Suite101's world of Outdoor Adventure.
