Tutorials will run through June, July and perhaps Augu st. I will be using Google Meet Pro software and you will not need any s oftware at your end, just your desktop, laptop, or at a stretch your sma rtphone, and a web browser. Join us when you wish and stay as long as yo u wish. I will need your email address so that I can send you the Google Meet blue link at about 7.15PM on Thursday evening . There are many pos sible navigation apps available but I suggest that we focus on those tha t will, run out of reach of telephone towers, run when the smartphone is in Airplane mode, run on multi day bushwalks, never ask you to log on, have a one time fee, have many and mostly free local maps, allow you to own your trip "track and waypoint databases", and allow export and impor t in .kml format. If you wish to do some homework then I suggest for: "A Smartphone Navigation Overview" .... Go to: https://sites.google.com/pe terconroy.org/smartphonenav/home and request clearance to view.
