Buying and reading this book won't guarantee you'll never get lost again, but it's a good start.

GPS Made Easy by Lawrence Letham was the book most recommended on GPS information, and the book used [most often] by people who guide for a living, [who] teach outdoor survival training, and [those who] run guide training schools. --North American Bear Foundation That we - the collective outdoorsman we - are confused by our GPS devices is why this explanatory instruction guide just went into its fifth printing. Anything that can make GPS easy will be snapped up, and this is a book that stakes its cover reputation on delivering simplicity and usability. --The Reel News
