My TeleMetrum and TeleBT are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, thanks Chris's Rockets for the fast delivery. I've been reading through the manual and so far this is the only part I'm not following, perhaps because I've never done geo-caching:
"If your rocket lands out of sight, you may enjoy having a hand-held GPS receiver, so that you can put ina way-point for the last reported rocket position before touch-down. This makes looking for your rocket
a lot like Geo-Caching just go to the way-point and look around starting from there. AltosDroid on an
Android device with GPS receiver works great for this, too!"
OK, so my rocket lands a couple of miles away from the pad, now what? I'm guessing I have to enter the coordinates of the rocket into the GPS receiver to get directions? Or what? Or can I just use Google Map?
Thanks,
Bill
