Synopsis

The dream of navigators through the ages - always to know exactly where they are and where they are going - has been realised through the Global Positioning System. This book explains, to the novice or traditional navigator, what the system can and cannot do. You will learn about choosing a set, position fixing, outputs, waypoint navigation, passage making and pilotage. You will also understand how to check your results using traditional navigation, common sense and the Mark 1 Eyeball.

Bill Anderson started sailing off the North Antrim coast in an open fishing boat. He spent 13 years as a seaman officer in the Royal Navy, serving as Navigating Officer of a minesweeper, a frigate and a destroyer. On leaving the Navy he joined the training division of the Royal Yachting Association, where he set up and run the RYA/DTp Yachtmaster training and examinations. He has always been an enthusiastic sailor, with experience ranging from dinghy racing to an Atlantic crossing (from Brazil to the UK). He now spends most of his summers cruising NW Europe.
