Mountain GPS Course

In this course we are going to learn how to get the most out of our mountain GPS receivers.

Beyond the use of tracking our route to later see the data on a computer, we will show you the enormous possibilities that even the simplest of these magnificent mountain companions offers us today.

From a correct initial configuration to more advanced practices.

We will also see and learn to use the latest mountain apps for mobile phones.

Two days that will change the way you see and use the GPS.
