Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GPS For Mariners is a comprehensive guide for recreational boaters to learn how to operate and effectively use today's GPS systems in everyday navigational situations. While all GPS products come with operational manuals and there are books on how to use your GPS for land or aerial navigation, there is very little information available to recreational boaters on how to best utilize their GPS for marine navigation. From learning the history of GPS, discovering the functions of the GPS, understanding basic and advance course-plotting, learning advance navigation with GPS, interfacing a GPS with an autopilot, to using a GPS with electronic charts on a PC, GPS For Mariners includes everything the novice to the more experienced boater should know about their GPS system. GPS For Mariners is the ultimate how-to guide and ready reference leading to GPS proficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can piloting a boat really be this easy? Traditional navigation with its chart plotting, compass errors, and current vectors requires years to master. Serious boaters learn it eventually, but with $100 GPS receivers offering 50-foot position accuracy anywhere in the world, it’s no longer necessary to master the art before enjoying the sport. The Weekend Navigator is the first book to recognize that affordable, simple-to-use electronics demand a radically new approach to teaching navigation. Bob Sweet lets you find your way on the water immediately, learning by rather than before doing. This innovative guide’s quick-reference format shows you how to: Pinpoint locations at all times Determine the precise ranges and bearings of destinations Compensate for wind and current effects Avoid underwater hazards
Book Synopsis Radar for Mariners, Revised Edition by : David Burch
Download or read book Radar for Mariners, Revised Edition written by David Burch and published by McGraw-Hill Professional. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Become an Expert Small-Craft Radar Operator Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and it is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else or what else is out there with you. Today's smaller, affordable, efficient radars make more sense than ever for sailors and powerboaters. Adopted by the American Sailing Association for their radar course and used by professional and recreational radar training schools around the world, this complete, in-depth manual shows you how to: Choose the best radar model for your sailboat or powerboat Install, adjust, and operate your system Interpret the images on your radar screen Pilot your boat and track the movements of vessels around you Use radar to track and avoid squalls, outmaneuver competitors in a yacht race, and other specialized tasks Interface your radar with a digital compass, GPS, or electronic chart "This book will turn you into an expert on small-craft radar operations. It covers everything--radar choice, installation, use, and how to interface with your electronics. Very comprehensive!" -- Boat Books "Stands out among other books on the subject . . . an excellent introduction to radar." -- Power Cruising "Radar is an electronic tool, the operation of which takes much more interpretation than any other--too little knowledge can be just as dangerous as none. Radar for Mariners helps you understand how radar works, explains its limitations, and shows you how to get the full use of radar's functions. This book should show up on the radar screen of anyone with radar--or contemplating getting one. I can't wait to go to my boat and stop playing with my radar and start using it." -- Good Old Boat

Book Synopsis Celestial Navigation in the GPS Age by : John Karl
Download or read book Celestial Navigation in the GPS Age written by John Karl and published by Paradise Cay Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books on celestial navigation take shortcuts in explaining concepts; incorrect diagrams and discussion are often used for the sake of moving the student along quickly. This book tells the true story-and the whole story. It conveys celestial navigation concepts clearly and in the shortest possible time.It's tailored for navigation in the GPS age-a time of computers, calculators, and web resources. Although it covers all of the traditional methods of 'working a sight, ' the primary thrust is using the (under $10) scientific calculator. By using equations that you key into your calculator, this book guides you toward a better understanding of the concepts of celestial navigation.You will learn novel ways to plot lines of position, ways to check your sextant accurately by star sights, and how to tell what time it is from a moon sight. The many appendices are a treasure of references and explanations of abstract ideas. Celestial Navigation is a crucial skill for the offshore navigator to know, this book provides the shortest path to that knowledge.
Book Synopsis Inland and Coastal Navigation, 2nd Edition by : David Burch
Download or read book Inland and Coastal Navigation, 2nd Edition written by David Burch and published by Starpath Publications. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an updated and expanded edition of a text that has been used in navigation courses for 30 years. It covers practical small-craft navigation (sail, power, or paddle), starting from the basics and ending with all that is needed to navigate safely and efficiently on inland and coastal waters in all weather conditions. It is for beginners, starting from scratch, or for more seasoned mariners who wish to expand their skills. Topics include: Charts, Chart Reading, and Chart Plotting Instruments and Logbook Procedures Compass Use Piloting and Dead Reckoning Lights and Buoyage Tides and Currents Rules of the Road GPS and other Electronic Aids The GPS tells us where we are and how fast we are moving in what direction, but it can never tell us the safest, most efficient route to our destination. That fundamental task requires the basic navigation skills taught in this book, which we can use as well to check the GPS underway, and then be prepared to navigate without the GPS if we need to. The hallmark of good seamanship is to look ahead and be prepared. The text covers not only the long tested traditional methods of navigation but also the efficient use of the latest technology in electronic navigation and charting.

Book Synopsis Applying Advanced Information Systems to Ports and Waterways Management by : Marine Board
Download or read book Applying Advanced Information Systems to Ports and Waterways Management written by Marine Board and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-03-31 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future safety of maritime transportation in the United States-a major factor in the nation's international trade and economic well-being-will depend heavily on the quality of port and waterways information systems. Many U.S. ports and waterways lack adequate information services, although certain elements of advanced systems are now available in some locations. Barriers to improvements in information systems include the division of responsibilities for waterways management among multiple agencies at all levels of government, a lack of coordination among the federal agencies responsible for waterways management, inadequate budgets for some critical maritime programs, the high costs of some specialized technologies, stakeholder opposition to user fees, limited access to certain key data, the incompatibility of many independently developed systems, and the absence of standards for some attractive technologies. In this report, the second phase of a three-year study by the Committee on Maritime Advanced Information Systems of the National Research Council, a strategy is presented for overcoming the major barriers and deficiencies and providing a minimum level of maritime safety information nationwide. In this phase of the study, the committee concentrated on maritime information systems that promote safety, which is the area of greatest need. The committee did not examine in detail the relationship between navigation safety and maritime transportation efficiency or evaluate information systems that promote efficiency; the committee believes, however, that these issues deserve further attention.
