Flotilla 12-42 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will be offering a two-night GPS for Mariners course, beginning on October 2nd, 2012. Class will meet on two consecutive Tuesday evenings, from 6:30pm-10:00pm at California Yacht Club, 4469 Admiralty Way in Marina del Rey.
GPS for Mariners is a modern learning experience that focuses on the GPS equipment and related electronics typically owned by recreational boaters. This course is the result of an exciting synergy between the textbook’s publisher, the book’s author, and the Auxiliary. We will be using the updated and just released second edition (2012).
Course participants who have GPS handheld units may bring these to class for ‘hands-on’ training on their own equipment. Those not possessing handheld units or with permanently installed equipment, will benefit from learning about available GPS technology, interconnecting options and the practical application for recreational boating.
