GPS Awareness Pilot Training Course

Many people use a GPS for navigation but how many actually understand what they are doing? Curtis seeks to fix this problem through a half day course that examines the correct use of GPS equipment, how the system works and the common limitations with the system. Anyone who attends one of these courses will be able to use a GPS correctly and safely, enjoying all the benifits that this wonderful new technology delivers.
