| | Digital Navigation for Kayakers - Feb.2005 Sea Kayaker Magazine (p. 1 of 5) |
 | | My spouse tells me “digital navigation” is when she points in the direction she wants to go and says, “Let’s paddle that way.” What I mean by “digital navigation” is using personal-computer, Internet and GPS resources to plan, undertake, enhance and review kayak trips. |
 | | The focus of this article is on using digital navigation for sea kayaking, but because digital navigation has been evolving and expanding rapidly over the past few years, and to my knowledge, there are no primary or comprehensive information sources, this article will necessarily be incomplete and out of date. |
 | | Maps, on the other hand, are much better at showing topology, such as streams, valleys, glaciers, mountains and, to some degree, even vegetation. |
