GPS Technology Update for IMLs

A workshop for all IMLs interested in how technology, in all its forms, can help locate and navigate more reliably and safely in hills and mountains both in the UK and worldwide.  It covers the free-to-use external technologies, the 4 GNSS now available and "multi-band", the ability of handheld, wearable and smartphone devices to exploit this technology, and the implications for IMLs.  We will use practically our smartphones with some great free apps, get to know about LTE and satellite tracking technology, and I'll give focused advice.
