Getting the most from GPS on the water

GPS Afloat is written by Bill Anderson and published by Fernhurst Books. Anderson's background combines thirteen years as a navigating officer in the Royal Navy with a later role as Training Manager at the Royal Yachting Association, where he helped redesign the Yachtmaster scheme.

The book explains, in plain terms, what GPS can and cannot tell a sailor, and how to use satellite positioning alongside traditional navigation skills rather than relying on it blindly. It focuses on practical use at sea and on checking that GPS results make sense in context.

Useful for sailors wanting a solid, jargon-free grounding in GPS navigation as part of safe passage planning.
