Hand held GPS for beginners

[Music] okay folks today I'm going to do a quick little video on how to use a GPS it's a GPS well and newbies a lot of people have gone but not real sure on how to use and so I want to help yourself okay just doing the basics I'm using today the GPS 64's this is one that I borrowed off my friend I actually use one nice high you soul looking thing it's lit over identical just in color this one is a lot of you see it's all scratched and beaten up but yeah it's you know it's not broken so what fix it okay so you can't get them anymore so we're going to use this one here there's my demo this is the current one let's start let's pretend you've just driven up to a track somewhere and you're going out prospecting and you want to mark the car you just parked you're in the bush you don't know where you are go to what you do you switch it on hold it down for a second or so and then she will fire up like so while it's doing that you've got page menu answer quick mark flying in and out and then that big square button is called a rocker in the middle rocks up either way all directions now the GPS works on pages now this first page with mine I've got set up so the satellite page comes up first if you want to know how to change the sequence and all that leave a comment below and I'll do a video on that but as you can see at the top there the numbers I use UTM stands for universal transverse mercator I prefer using that over longitude/latitude all maps have got it on that's a lot easier because it's basically in meters away from a certain point which is Greenwich England okay here the full and four meters currently even armed indoors I've got a four meter accuracy so if I'm trying to get back to the car get within four meters of it elevation well that's so explanatory ok this picture here all these little numbered circle usual convenes they're all the satellites in real time counting space the outer ring represents the horizon to where you're standing the inner ring is 45 degrees and then you can't see it but just under there you've got a dot that is directly above your head now these dancing bars and the bottom of these represent well the number corresponds to which satellite and then the high the bars are stronger the signal strength from it so obviously the high and the more you've got up there then more accurate you're going to be see what he jumped down to three meters okay now gain through your sequence you're going to use your page in your quick button it's like basically I'll start with the page which goes to the right you press quit go to the left so still there is to it the main one you'll use is the map page now that little triangle there it represents you or me in this case that there's actually a road on but it's a real basic map you can buy lot maps for these so they've got all the lock top of top on that man got all your creeks and contour lines and all that I've got that on my old one I'll show that next one okay you're in and you're out that literally zooms in if you watch that bar at the top there see it's like you're looking down bird's-eye view at yourself from space directly down on yourself so that distance on the screen represents 80 meters so if I press the in you can see that I'm zooming right in maximum the closest you can get is five meters now this line here it's because it's all you move around it actually draw the track but breadcrumbs so you can always find your way back the exact way you walk for instance but that's dancing around because I'm indoors so don't pay that any mind okay is aiming out using the UP button I usually when I'm out prospecting I live 120 meters so that's means that that distance on the screen looking down on the map screen represents 120 meters I'll show you what happens if you zoom all the way up this will give you an indication as to where I am I'm just outside of Boulder Cal gullies and check Gardens there you go I mean western US right as you can see so it's got the basic map shows you the salt lakes and so forth okay place it back down 120 meters all right so you get your location what the first thing we'll do is market car so you press the mark button which I'll do now if page opens up now using the big rocker you can as you can see no matter we press it'll take a bit so let's say you want to change the picture of it to the car I've already done it you press Enter or what you do is you highlight what it is you want to change you press enter now I can change the picture there's lots to choose from with if you can't find what you want there you take it down to civil enter see like if you find a mine you can use a mine symbol x marks the spot so forth you get the proof that can't find it there you got Marine Center that's more for boating hunting you into that enter there's some pitches there and then you can use about anyway just while we're at it if you are camping I personally use that little picture of a tent to mark the camp let's do that let's market can enter okay see now it's change the photo of a little picture to the tent now the thing that I've highlighted now is the name of your Waypoint or in this case it's just allocates a number it'll go automatically in sequence as you want but let's change the name will do that in touch okay so if there can so pull out the see enter all the a enter hole up in enter and the P enter right six can you happy with that you got into done enter now it says they'll camp up here using the rock on come down you can leave a night there if you want which is sort of remind you it depends that is the location of where we are right now so let's say that's our camp where we are now and then you call it done enter there you go you can see where we stand I've just marked the can't now let's say you go for a walk or detect and you've wandered away and you're a few kilometres away and you're sort of lost and you think okay I need to get back now what you do you see the button now find so self-explanatory press find okay wait points is Litton up enter what we want always enter for what you want there's camp Johnny one it's on me because I'll clear the memory so it's the only one on now that's one we want enter and you press guys as long as you can see we're still haven't gone anywhere so we're on it but just for the sake of it with attending the compass page there yet because we're never getting up close it GPS it's fine remember find the camp well we're there now but let's pretend we're not but your arrow be pointing to the South all you do is you literally turn the GPS well because we're here it's going to circle but what you do is you point to this and just walk towards where the arrow points you mean there's another way of doing it go back to the map page using page let's say you're only a couple of kilometers away what you can do is you can zoom now and you can okay there you go it's work that way what you did is literally like our CEO Kalgoorlie and the prop that we use as good as this example I've just turned the GPS if I walk in that direction now is where I am right now it'll fact me to Cal Dooley same thing you can't your car or whatever okay let's say you're back at camp you don't want to keep doing this or what you do is you press find where at camp using the rocket highlights top navigation and you press enter and then we're not going to go there I'll show you if you go the compass page as you can see it's not doing anything other than telling you which ways north himself is for tuning anyway we're indoors and that's all there is taught so I hope you enjoyed my little video if you've got any questions or comments leave them below and thanks for watching
