NAVIGATING WITH GPS COURSE
Navigating with GPS was developed jointly by the U S Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons. Although a foundation in principles of navigation is recommended, a brief review of navigation is provided. The two-hour course provides a very basic introduction to the nature of the Global Positioning System as well as basic receiver functions with special attention to selecting a receiver and doing simple waypoint navigation. It is not intended to teach the operation of
any particular GPS receiver.

We Need You -- The Coast Guard Auxiliary is called upon to provide essential services to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on their military missions. We need all the help we can get. You needn't own a boat or be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging. For information about Auxiliary missions and the Auxiliary in general, go to our Join the Auxiliary web page. You will find there a form through which you can ask that a local Auxiliarist make contact with you to explore the ways in which you can assist Team Coast Guard. To learn more go to Charting Your Course in the USCG Auxiliary.
