Waypoints,
Grid Squares, and Navigation

 

 

A Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver tunes into the microwave signals broadcast by 24 satellites that each orbit the Earth every 12 hours. This "Constellation" of two dozen navigational satellites is controlled by the United States Department of Defense and operated by the U.S. Military (This is an unfortunate situation in that not only is the American military used for suspect purposes but they've also been known to intentionally shut the GPS system down over certain parts of the planet!!). There are six orbital planes (each with four satellites) spaced equally at 60 degrees apart and inclined at abut 55 degrees with respect to the equatorial plane. In plain English this means you can usually count on your receiver "seeing" about five to eight of these satellites at anyone time - depending on where you're located, of course...

In August, 1998 I ended up with my first GPS - A Garmin GPS 12XL Personal Navigator. I won the device as a door prize at an amateur radio "swapfest" and it served me well until I lost it in Argentina in 2004... So, in July, 2004 I purchased a Garmin eTrex Vista Personal Navigator. I still don't rely on a GPS completely, for navigation, because I can drop and break it, the batteries run dry, I can (and have!) lose it, the military can turn it off (as mentioned above), and bad weather and canyon walls can block its signal reception. [ed note: As recently as August 2011 there was still serious concern that solar flares would disrupte the world's GPS devices...]. That being said, a GPS is still a fun little devices to play with so I usually don't leave home without one!

Waypoints Storing "Waypoints" is one of the features I use most on my GPS. The owner's manual for my GPX 12XL simply defined a waypont as "A specific location saved in the receiver's memory" (bottom of page 3 in the glossary). The waypoints I store are usually the location of a mountain top I've visited, a friend's home, a trailhead, or even the rooftop of the Dalai Lama's Potala Palace in Tibet! Anyway, I'll list my collection of waypoints on this and other pages as time permits. And, as a safety note, I ask that you do not rely on my waypoints for anything - I list 'em here for personal use and cannot verify their accuracy!

In February, 2009 my friend Jeff was shopping around for a GPS receiver so we both looked into the matter a little more deeply. Again, I'm not an expert in navigation so I strongly recommend you take a class and study the matter before you rely on your GPS for survival.

Anyway, a decade ago I was using the term "breadcrumb" track to describe the electronic memory of where my GPS had been tracking my travel. I think now, in the last part of this decade, they're starting to use the term, "tracklog" to describe the same thing. www.gpsinformation.net describes it this way on one of their web pages (they changed their domain name so I don't know if you'll be able to find this exact wording again or not):

"Tracklogs are basically the equivalent of dropping breadcrumbs so that you can retrace your steps. They provide a history of your travels."

"A tracklog can be automatically turned into a trackback route to lead you back to your starting point. In addition they can be downloaded to a computer and used to 'playback' your travel over the top of a mapping program so that you can show someone exactly where you went. Since time is also recorded the computer program could also indicate the speed of your travel and compute the length of the trip as recorded in the tracklog. Tracklogs are capable of recording breaks in the log where you moved between fixes or where the unit may have lost a lock. Tracklogs are displayed on the map screen along with visual indications of waypoint locations and your current position."
