GPS For Mariners is a comprehensive guide for recreational boaters to learn how to operate and effectively use today's GPS systems in everyday navigational situations. While all GPS products come with operational manuals and there are books on how to use your GPS for land or aerial navigation, there is very little information available to recreational boaters on how to best utilize their GPS for marine navigation. From learning the history of GPS, discovering the functions of the GPS, understanding basic and advance course-plotting, learning advance navigation with GPS, interfacing a GPS with an autopilot, to using a GPS with electronic charts on a PC, GPS For Mariners includes everything the novice to the more experienced boater should know about their GPS system. GPS For Mariners is the ultimate how-to guide and ready reference leading to GPS proficiency.

Can piloting a boat really be this easy? Traditional navigation with its chart plotting, compass errors, and current vectors requires years to master. Serious boaters learn it eventually, but with $100 GPS receivers offering 50-foot position accuracy anywhere in the world, it’s no longer necessary to master the art before enjoying the sport. The Weekend Navigator is the first book to recognize that affordable, simple-to-use electronics demand a radically new approach to teaching navigation. Bob Sweet lets you find your way on the water immediately, learning by rather than before doing. This innovative guide’s quick-reference format shows you how to: Pinpoint locations at all times Determine the precise ranges and bearings of destinations Compensate for wind and current effects Avoid underwater hazards

Become an Expert Small-Craft Radar Operator Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and it is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else or what else is out there with you. Today's smaller, affordable, efficient radars make more sense than ever for sailors and powerboaters. Adopted by the American Sailing Association for their radar course and used by professional and recreational radar training schools around the world, this complete, in-depth manual shows you how to: Choose the best radar model for your sailboat or powerboat Install, adjust, and operate your system Interpret the images on your radar screen Pilot your boat and track the movements of vessels around you Use radar to track and avoid squalls, outmaneuver competitors in a yacht race, and other specialized tasks Interface your radar with a digital compass, GPS, or electronic chart "This book will turn you into an expert on small-craft radar operations. It covers everything--radar choice, installation, use, and how to interface with your electronics. Very comprehensive!" -- Boat Books "Stands out among other books on the subject . . . an excellent introduction to radar." -- Power Cruising "Radar is an electronic tool, the operation of which takes much more interpretation than any other--too little knowledge can be just as dangerous as none. Radar for Mariners helps you understand how radar works, explains its limitations, and shows you how to get the full use of radar's functions. This book should show up on the radar screen of anyone with radar--or contemplating getting one. I can't wait to go to my boat and stop playing with my radar and start using it." -- Good Old Boat
