GPS Made Easy: Using Global Positioning Systems in the Outdoors

This continues to be the best-selling instructional for the wildly popular consumer GPS technology because it is also the most up-to-date of any text on the topic.

The updated title has a new chapter explaining how to download maps and computer software to a GPS receiver, including examples readers can follow.
