You like exploring? A GPS device is one of the best tools for exploring the wilderness safely or to find a target location in the forest… if you know how to use it!
During this workshop, experts from Ottawa Volunteer Search and Rescue will explain how the Global Positioning System works, how it relates to traditional map and compass orienteering, and how to use it properly.
The workshop includes an indoor presentation and an outdoor practice session. GPS units will be provided. Please wear weather appropriate clothing.
