Tutorials will run through June, July and August. I will be using G oogle Meet Pro software and you will not need any software at your end, just your desktop, laptop, or at a stretch your smartphone, and a web br owser. Join us when you wish and stay as long as you wish. I will need y our email address so that I can send you the Google Meet blue link at ab out 7.15PM on Tuesday evening . There are many possible smartphone navig ation apps available but I suggest that we focus on those that will, run out of reach of telephone towers, run when the smartphone is in Airplan e 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 tr ip "track and waypoint databases", and allow export and import in .kml f ormat. If you wish to do some homework then I suggest for: "A Smartphone Navigation Overview" .... Go to: https://sites.google.com/peterconroy.o rg/smartphonenav/home and request clearance to view.
