Trail GPS Workshop
In association with the City of Cambridge we will be hosting a 2 hour workshop on the operation of GPS receivers built for trail use. GPS units used for hiking differ from vehicle units in that they are smaller, weather resistant and battery operated. This workshop will focus primarily on Garmin units which are the most common trail GPSr, such as the 62 and Oregon series of devices.
