This course is tailored to the GPS user, specifically the latest Garmin Zumo, BMW Navigator and Montana devices. Attendees are encouraged to bring their GPS and factory supplied cables along with a laptop computer if they use one, please charge your batteries in advance. All demonstrations and discussion with the exception of apps will be on devices using MS Windows as the operating system. To get the most out of the basecamp session users must have basecamp loaded and working prior to the seminar. There is no plan to offer hands on technical support to installation or performance issues. It is not necessary to have a GPS or laptop but it will help if you do.
