Supplementary Course – Applied Satellite Navigation
3-day block seminar in the period 27.09. – 30.09.2022
What is it about?
GPS devices are not only very useful for field trips and excursions, but are also increasingly used in tourism for geocaching. The course is designed to provide the theoretical and especially the practical knowledge.
What is special about the course?
For this seminar, a special geocaching route has been developed in advance, in which selected geographical questions in the excursion area of the Eifel National Park are included. In small groups with a maximum of 2 to 3 users per GPS device you will learn how to use this helpful instrument safely.
