Our Christmas get together, a look back over the past year So, it's our Christmas party, well it's not really but we are going to look back over the year and look ahead to 2022 If I said – tell me about 2021, in relation to GPS Training, what one word would sum it up for you Key points, that I can think of, from the past year -- January/ Feb – New website - The start of the ‘walk and talk' series – more about that later - Starting to get out delivering courses – Easter?- June – Andy coming back - September – The introduction of the free OS route planning software – again more about that later 2. Big progressions over the past year – post-sale automation – We tweak and work at this all the time. LynnWhat is it?Series of emails customers get from us for the year after they have bought a GPS unit from usIt encourages them to look at the resources they get from us – including the support and training options they have access to. And therefore, people know where to find the answers they are looking for. Many people do pay after the first ‘free first year' to continue to have access to both the online resource and one of our support packages. 3. Big progression 2 – AndyIf customers can't find the answer they are looking for they then work their way through to Andy.Andy came back in mid-June – June 14thSupport – both in person and also creating videos for online resource/ YouTubeHad the business changed in those two years away?Videos for online resource (what is the online resource) – Over 50 videos now for most units – How do you go about structuring these, recording, editing, uploading and embedding within the online resourceTherefore with each unit being covered in such an in-depth manor the questions I am now getting are very specific and more than likely to be ‘a problem' rather than how do you do x or y?Training courses – throughout UKScottish Borders Northumberland Lake District Peak District Northamptonshire Gloucestershire South Downs New Forest1:1 Zoom training – only been introduced a couple of weeks but a great success, we have had one customer who booked back-to-back 2 hour sessionsAndy – what's been your big takeaway for 2021?Using two-way satellite communicationPutting into practice myself, what I have been teaching in the classroom for a number of years nowThis gives me the ability to relate to the experiences customers are getting4. Big progression number 3 – walk and talk – Jon and JaneHow it came about – Buckham's Bridge – a long way up the valley – Between Christmas and New Year – a long way up the Valley – Snowy day – Dere Street, Pennine Way – Cold Day!The frustration of people not understanding the principle and how a GPS will look when navigating. Originally, we were going to get them ‘professionally shot' but trying to understand ‘how to do it' I just went out with my iPhone and my own personal GPS unit.And that turned into the first-ever ‘walk and talk'.Since then I have filmed them on short walks on summer evenings, long walks in the Cheviots, on a number of long-distance trails in all weather and in every season.One of my favorites is the eTrex 10 – I took a £100.00 GPS and our free route planning software i.e total spend £100.00 and showed how you can get a great navigational experience from a ‘budget' GPS unit. I have also personally got lots from walking with each of the units and spending some ‘quality' time getting to know them and all their good and bad points. How do I create them? Our most recent one was with the Garmin Fenix watch, still a few holes to plug, mainly GPSMAP 66sr and more watch videos. Our final big progression of 2021 has been our free OS route planning software.Why did we do this?Tried to make it as simple as possible? And in the run-up to Christmas, we even had a free webinar for those who want to get 100% out of it You access it by clicking on OS planner on the top menu bar on the GPS Training website and ...

Hi Ian, I have a question about my GPSMAP 66sr. How do I change the colour of an imported track? I want to do this because the default purple is difficult to see against roads when wearing sunglasses. I have tried Selecting a Track in Saved tracks, clicking on Menu and Set color. However although when I Find Track and see it on the map it is in the new colour, when I click on Go it reverts to Purple. Any ideas would be appreciated Best wishes,Peter Wilkinson The colour reverts to magenta when you actively navigate the track. This is the colour set by Garmin which can't be changed.Compare with Satmap where you can set the colour for routes (Main Menu screen>Settings>option 26 Route Rendering) I have recently restarted using Basecamp to plot routes for transfer to my GPS. Now when I create the waypoints the software seems to jump backwards so I end up with a series of unintended spikes between my waypoints. What has gone wrong? If I plot a track instead it seems ok! I have updated Basecamp to the current version.Hope you can help.Best wishesNeil Rothwell Almost certainly the incorrect Activity Profile.

2021 Garmin Map Card, Spine Race, what have they done to the OS app, more units discontinued and ask Ian. In this month's podcast A quick update on the 2021 OS map cards from GarminSpine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event.After we sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom they managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later. We look at what they have done.Yet more units discontinued by Garmin, we look at a year where Garmin have certainly cleared the stable out.Stock availability – sorry I know it is a recurring theme, but a quick update on stock issuesAsk Ian – the questions you have been asking Ian over the past month The first thing on this month's Podcast is a look at the recent update on the Garmin 1:50k map card Last month we discussed that Garmin, after a very long wait, updated the 1:25k map cardIn the past month we also received and update of the 1:50k TOPO Great Britain PRO 1:50k map cardSo both map cards are now V2OS release ¼ of the country every year as a map update so cards get updated every 4 years but for some reason the 1:50k map card has been updated after 3 years.What changes on OS maps? You can buy the new map card as a standalone product on GPS Training and all new Garmin GPS unit bundles are now being shipped with updated map cards, unlike some other retailers The next thing on this month's GPS training podcast is a look back at the Spine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event. The Montane Spine Race is widely regarded as one of the world's toughest endurance races. There are both summer and winter events and the summer event started on Saturday 19th June. In our 31st episode, we interviewed Paul Freeman after he completed the Spine Challenger race.A truly epic challenge that will test your physical resilience and mental fortitude. Racing non-stop along the Pennine Way – 268 miles There are ‘shorter' races within the main race but all are true challenges. As I spoke about this in last month's Podcasts many people are introduces to GPS units for the first time with an event like this. We have had a number of customers participating in the event and well done to all those who took part. Before they start the Spine Race they have to demonstrate they can get their current Grid reference from their GPS unit. So, Ian how would people do this – Satellite pageCreate waypoint of your current location If you want to find more about the Spine race please just go to their website – thespinerace.comThe next thing on this month's podcast is the recent updates to the OS app. After Ian sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom OS managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later. So Ian, what have they done? Basically, when you plan a route on the app, it exports as a track in to Garmin Explore unlike all the other apps you can use….. I am slowly working on the OS. They have now admitted that they have trashed it for the time being and accept it needs to be altered back to what it was prior their three app updates in March. That still hasn't been done. As we do have, I think, quite a few customers who use this app, it may be worth talking about it/other options that work?The next thing on the GPS Training Podcast is the end of the road for the Garmin Oregon 750 Another one bights the dust – This year we have seen the A number of units ‘discontinued' – Touch 25t, we still have the 35tGPSMAP 64sx and GPSMAP 66stMontana 610, 680 and 680tThen the Oregon 750tAnd then this week we saw the Garmin Oregon 750 be discontinued. Don't work both ourselves and Garmin will continue to support these units for many years to come.Stock availability – sorry I know it is a recurring theme, but a quick update on stock issues Currently out of stock of GPSMAP 66sr, Montana 700i Shortage of ‘chips'

In this month's podcast A quick update on the 2021 OS map cards from GarminSpine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event.After we sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom they managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later. We look at what they have done.Yet more units discontinued by Garmin, we look at a year where Garmin have certainly cleared the stable out.Stock availability – sorry I know it is a recurring theme, but a quick update on stock issuesAsk Ian – the questions you have been asking Ian over the past month The first thing on this month's Podcast is a look at the recent update on the Garmin 1:50k map card Last month we discussed that Garmin, after a very long wait, updated the 1:25k map cardIn the past month we also received and update of the 1:50k TOPO Great Britain PRO 1:50k map cardSo both map cards are now V2OS release ¼ of the country every year as a map update so cards get updated every 4 years but for some reason the 1:50k map card has been updated after 3 years.What changes on OS maps? You can buy the new map card as a standalone product on GPS Training and all new Garmin GPS unit bundles are now being shipped with updated map cards, unlike some other retailers The next thing on this month's GPS training podcast is a look back at the Spine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event. The Montane Spine Race is widely regarded as one of the world's toughest endurance races. There are both summer and winter events and the summer event started on Saturday 19th June. In our 31st episode, we interviewed Paul Freeman after he completed the Spine Challenger race.A truly epic challenge that will test your physical resilience and mental fortitude. Racing non-stop along the Pennine Way – 268 miles There are ‘shorter' races within the main race but all are true challenges. As I spoke about this in last month's Podcasts many people are introduces to GPS units for the first time with an event like this. We have had a number of customers participating in the event and well done to all those who took part. Before they start the Spine Race they have to demonstrate they can get their current Grid reference from their GPS unit. So, Ian how would people do this – Satellite pageCreate waypoint of your current location If you want to find more about the Spine race please just go to their website – thespinerace.comThe next thing on this month's podcast is the recent updates to the OS app. After Ian sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom OS managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later.

The first thing on this months Podcast is a look at our ‘walk and talk' series The idea behind the videos In a series of videos we look at a number of Outdoor GPS units and give a simple, practical guide on how each of them works and the navigational experience each of them gives. Not training videos – but hopefully give you an insight of the ‘navigational experience' of each of the units. Walk and talk – GPSMAP 66i – 30 minsWalk and talk – Montana 700 – 20 minsMontana 700 Carry case – great findWalk and talk – SatMap Active 20 – 25 mins It's been interesting to see the seasons changing as during the first one there was snow on the ground, and it was a cold day, then last weekend (SatMap Active 20) I was in shirt sleeves To find out more and watch the ‘walk and talk' videos go to – gpstraining.co.uk > news > walk and talk (currently third news story down) and I will also link to it from the show notes. The next thing on this months GPS training podcast is a look at Apps that a number of you have been using. Have you had much experience of using mobile phone apps to navigate with Ian? I am starting to put a ‘piece' together for the website and reviewing each of the ‘main' navigational apps, of course there are many downsides of apps, but there are some instances when they can be a backup for either your GPS unit or paper map. One thig I have learnt from this podcast, especially from my interview with Lindley Chambers (safety coordinator for the spine race ) – Podcast number 35 – I will again link to this interview in the show notes - http://gpsonlinecourse.co.uk/gps-training-podcast-number-35/is ‘not to have all your eggs in one basket'. Different navigational options gives you a ‘backup' just in case something goes wrong with one of them. Some options (ideas) SatMap appViewRangerOS appGarmin ExploreKamootMap my walkAll Trailsideas, ideas If people have any thoughts of feedback about these or other apps please do get in touch. Please note here we have been talking about using a mobile phone app as a backup, rather than your main navigational aid. If you are thinking – of course he's going to say that. To prove it is not just me, take a look at an article I have written for the website - Stop using smartphones to navigate mountains, warn Mountain Rescue The next thing we are going to discuss on the podcast is the progress of the new 1:25k TOPO PRO map card Well Ian – the saga continues. The product image on both the 1:50k and 1:25k TOPO PRO map card is showing V2 But the product name and description is NOT showing this. I have been on to Garmin after this was spotted and I keep being told – start of April! If you have bought a Montana 700i or 750i from us and we have ‘loaned' you one of our 1:25k map cards we will be in touch. If you are waiting for the release of the new map card please keep an eye on our Friday newsletter as we will notify you when it/ they have been launched. 4.

In dieser Episode begrüßen wir als Gast Hans-Wilhelm Hurt, der bei der niedersächsischen Landesvermessung seit dem Jahr 2000 das Portal Geolife.de aufgebaut hat und überzeugter Garmin-Händler ist. Als Produkt hat er sich auf ein einziges Modell konzentriert: das GPSMap 66. Wir unterhalten uns mit ihm über die Entwicklung der digitalen Tourenportale (Tourenabruf per Fax!) und ob Garmins GPSMap-Serie immer noch die besten Geräte sind. Dabei stellt Matthias die neuen GPSMap65/65s/66sr-Geräte mit Multi-Frequenz-GNSS Technologie vor.

In this month's podcast we – We chat with Tom regarding the all new Garmin GPSMAP 66sr and GPSMAP 65 and 65sWe talk briefly about our courses and the new course locations we have for 2021Then we have Ian's FAQ, the questions he has been asked over the past month whilst supporting GPS Training customers The Garmin GPSMAP 66sr. So how does the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr differ from the Garmin GPSMAP 66s, GPSMAP 66st or GPSMAP 66i? What are the key features on the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr. Multi-band GPSS – This is Garmin's first Outdoor GPS unit to use five satellite systems, this being the GPS (American), GLONASS (Russian), Galileo (European), QZSS (Japanese) and IRSS (Indian).2. Pre-loaded TOPO Active mapping installed. Built-in battery – 36 hours battery life or 450 hours in Expedition Mode. And the rest … Large Colour screen (3 inch)ABC sensors – Altimeter, barometer to monitor weather and 3 axis electronic compassBirdseye Satellite Imagery – The ability to download satellite imagery directly onto the unitGarmin's Active weather – when tethered to a smartphone you get real time weather forecastsLED flashlight – this can also be used as a flashing beacon if need beLive Geocaching – when tethered to smartphone or on a wifiGarmin Explore App – The Garmin GPSMAP 66sr works alongside the Garmin Explore app, so you can download .gpx files onto your mobile phone or tablet and transfer directly onto the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr. To find out more about the new Garmin GPSMAP 66sr and GPSMAP 65 and 65s please go to GPS Training.co.uk and click on store. The next thing on this month's Podcast is a quick chat about our GPS Training courses and our plans for next year. To find out more about our GPS Training courses go gpstraining.co.uk and click on courses. Ian's FAQ's Master reset on their Garmin GPS's and watches even if they're quite new. I've had at least four people this month express a reluctance to do one, even when they're new, some of the resets have worked, others haven't. It also cured a battery drain problem in Carol's Fenix 5S and then in a customer's Fenix 6. With regards to Satmap, perhaps the problem with the customer whose Active 20 was freezing. when it was sent back to Satmap by him on his return. They found that their update hadn't updated the GPS properly and while this customer was more than happy to deal with Satmap with our assistance. And FinallyThe all new Garmin GPSMAP 66sr and Many thanks for listening and let us know anything you would like to be covered in the Podcast please do let us know and if you know of anybody interesting that you would like to hear interviewed in future podcasts please do let us know.Give us a call especially if you are thinking of a new GPS unitPlease do look a look at both our physical GPS courses and also our webinars, just go to GPSTaining.co.uk and click on – GPS Training courses.

Because of Geocaching... Yorkshire Yellow "Because of geocaching - I've been to some really great places I wouldn't have been to otherwise." Feedback... From Denise aka Ey Up Me Duck... Hi Mark, Sam and Sophie, I have finally got around to listening to your podcasts (although I have just noticed there is one more (the latest) for me to listen to). I have really enjoyed them. It felt just like I was sat in the room with you. I can't remember all the questions you have raised but here are our answers to the ones I can remember. GPS vs Phone - I'm with Sophie on this one as we tend to go out for the whole day and the battery on the phone runs out. We don't mind the phone for cache and dashes and also if there is a new one in the area and we can't be bothered to mess about putting it on the GPS but generally we prefer the GPS and if are in another country then we don't have roaming charges - though this nearly backfired on us last year when we went to Cyprus because although we knew we had loaded 500 plus caches onto the GPS when we powered it up in our villa it only showed 10!!!! We were devastated. Luckily  Philip (brother) was due out two days later so he brought the laptop out and saved the day! Caching and holidays - we now tend to plan holidays in places where we can cache too. New Year Caching Resolutions: well last year we had found just over 200 caches and I said to the Old Soldier that I'd like to get to 500 by the end of the year ... we are now almost at the 2000 mark!!!! So this year our aim is get 2000 caches, get over 100 on a day, cache in at least one more country and cache in at least 5 more counties and complete 2 challenge caches. Urban Vs Rural - we enjoy both. If we have a lot of time (or if we are with the Scouts and want to wear them out so they sleep at night) we tend to do countryside walks. But sometimes we only have a few hours spare and so then we do ones we can park near. It also depends on the weather. It is not nice caching in the pouring rain so wouldn't plan to do a walk but might do a few round town. We also prefer trails where we can cycle around due to the Old Soldiers injuries. Most important piece of equipment (apart from GPS and resources). The Old Soldier says tweezers and I say my extending torch / magnet thing. I think that I have mentioned most of the shows you have done - keep up the good work. News & Events...

Video of the week... Sam usually picks the video of the week, but this week he's been overruled.  Regular listeners will know that Sam has a little man crush on the Geocaching Vlogger.  This week the GeoGearHeads interviewed the Geocaching Vlogger, making their video of that interview a no brainer for the pick this week. Competition Answer... The question asked last week was: Who placed the very first EarthCache? The answer is Geoware.  The winner is...Tony aka TonyDev Mentioned in the interview: Darryls Podcasts:  http://www.geogearheads.com and http://www.geocachingpodcast.com Darryls Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/darrylsphotoblog/sets/1621908/ Power Skin Pop'n Battery site: http://global.power-skin.com Darryl's bucket list cache: http://coord.info/GC1A2T0 Twin Cities Geocaching Podcast site: http://www.tcgcpc.com Chicago Geocacher Podcast site (not suitable for children): http://chicagogeocacher.com CacheSense App: http://www.cachesense.com Geosphere App: http://www.gbhometech.com/Geosphere/Home.html Field Trip App: http://www.fieldtripper.com Neongeo App: http://www.neongeo.com Munzee Site: http://www.munzee.com Sighter Site: http://sightergame.com
