Who has never experienced this:
The tour is planned in detail and you are happy to be with the GS and friends to enjoy a unique tour and demonstrate your planning skills.
But suddenly the navigation system shows you a way that you did not plan SO at home with a map, navigation system and PC. So stop, map out and checked.
What happened?
There was this wonderful path that you absolutely wanted to drive ...
The excitement increases and you are annoyed that you didn't pay attention to something while preparing ...
So, I know that!
I was therefore particularly pleased that help might be approaching in this regard.
To avoid / reduce such situations, the GS Club invited to a navigation course.
For one thing, I hoped that I would learn a few things by participating.
And in addition, I could possibly bring my own experience and some knowledge.
On Saturday, shortly before noon, I sat expectantly in the training room of the Gut Keferloh inn, which Harald had already well prepared with a projector and all sorts of necessary - together with Bärbel & Peter, Susanne & Thomas, Petra & Herbert, Detlef, Domenico, Frank and Haukur.
Harald starts with the basics.
For example, what is hidden behind the abbreviation GPS is that there are different coordinate systems or that the map material used by our navigation systems or by the internet-based planners can be very different.
The heads were smoking, the coolies flew over the paper.
Next he clarified which navigation system is best used for which purpose.
It is then important to learn what a route (consists only of the so-called WAYPOINTS - without calculated routes), a track (that is the lane to be driven which is created when the route is calculated) and a tour.
Before planning, you should make a few basic settings in the planning program (and possibly also on the navigation system): What do you prefer on the tour (in our case we choose a motorcycle as the vehicle, the route should be winding and unloved / unimportant) Roads [BAB about] can be avoided).
I do not want to document the entire training process here and would rather refer to the training information provided by Harald with the extensive details.
The day was definitely on the fly, participation in the class was extremely lively and informative and the topics were well communicated.
Finally, thanks go to Harald for his commitment and to the classmates for the tips and stimulating questions they gave!
Hopefully there is a sequel: Micha
