[nrv-hams] Saturday Fox Hunt Reminder - Smart phone apps to help!

[Cam Coble]

One challenge that is a part of transmitter hunting is the navigational and
orienteering aspects. Triangulation requires understanding and use of
tools. These tools have typically been a topological map of the area,
pencils, compass, and keen eyes.

"But I just want to get out there and have fun!"

I hear ya! If you aren't used to using these tools, and have access to a
smart phone, I would recommend making use of the GPS/mapping capabilities
of your phone.
Below are a couple of apps that you may want to check out before the event
that have looked pretty helpful.
