Got a GPS unit? Planning to buy one? Here's how to get all the benefits from that handy device. Most GPS receivers do much more than their owners realize.

* Make sense of maps - learn more about how to read a map and how to get more from the free maps available online
* A little technology - discover a bit about GPS technology and understand its capabilities and limitations
* What to look for - when choosing the right GPS receiver for you
* Compute this - find out about digital mapping software and how to interface your GPS receiver with your computer
* Where am I? - understand what can affect your GPS reading and how accurate it will be
* Get me there - find your way around with Street Atlas USA(r), TopoFusion, Google Earth, and other tools
* On and off-road - explore topographical maps, aerial imagery, and the sport of geocaching
* GPS at sea - navigate the waters using your GPS with fish finders and nautical charts
Open the book and find:
* The difference between smart and static maps
* What a Geographic Information System is
* How to work with map coordinate systems
* How satellites and radio systems make GPS work
* What GPS features you need for different activities
* Why a cell phone with GPS capability isn't the same as a GPS unit
