Customer Reviews

Book-How to do everything with your GPS
The book was very informative and told just about all you need to know about using a GPS unit in most all situations and it did it in an informative and sometimes jokingly way which made it very interesting reading and just hard to stop reading, you just kept having to go a little farther.

very useful.

How to do everything with your GPS
Great book!
A lot of great tips.
A whole lot of useful information to get your GPS running at full speed ahead.

Good info but very general
I think the title of this book is a little aggressive. It really doesn't tell you much about HOW to do anything unless you own an iQue 3600. It does, however, cover the many things you might want to do with your GPS so if you are just interested in what a GPS could do for you then this is a good place to start.

About one third of the book covers the iQue 3600 in good detail. I don't have one of those so I can't tell you how accurate it is.
