Smartphone Nav Tutorials on Red Hill in DST

Mon 11th Dec 2023

Completed

Part-day, Walk

Three Smartphone Navigation Tutorials, on Red Hill, in Daylight Saving Time. We will gather at the now closed On Red restaurant at about 5.30PM and group around the Surveyors Plane Table. Bring your smartphone, your bushwalking nav app, and any other nav gadgets you would like to cross compare. We will start our smartphone apps, create a new database for our trip, select an electronic map, enter two waypoints, download map tiles, start our GPS and get a Fix, calibrate our smartphone compass to the surveyors plane table, start tracking, put our phones in airplane mode, pin our nav app screen, then toddle towards Davidson Trig. Expect slow going, much finger poking, many stops, and much chatter. Possible dates 11,12,13 Dec 2023. For more smartphone nav information go to https://sites.google.com/peterconroy.org/smartphonenav/home and email from there.
