Getting to Grips with Your GPS in 2026 In this New Year’s Day episode, we look at one simple question many walkers and runners ask at the start of the year: “How do I actually get confident using my GPS?” Rather than talking tech for tech’s sake, this episode walks through the practical training options available through GPS Training, helping you choose the right level of support for how you use your GPS. What’s covered in this episode 1. The GPS Training Online Resource – more here 24/7 access to step-by-step training videos Covers current GPS units and older models Ideal if you like learning at your own pace A single GPS unit can have 50+ dedicated videos 2. One-to-One GPS Training (Zoom or In-Person) – more here Tailored entirely to how you walk, run or navigate Perfect if you want focused help on specific issues Ideal for people short on time or lacking confidence 3. Two-Day GPS Training Courses (Nationwide) – more here Hands-on, outdoor, practical GPS training Learn route planning, following routes, trackback, and emergency scenarios Designed to build real confidence, not just button-pressing knowledge 4. Follow-On & Refresher Training, GPS in the hills – more here Options for those who already own a GPS but want to go further Particularly useful if you’ve never fully used your device’s features 5. Choosing the Right Training for You Advice on matching training options to your experience level Why there’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to GPS learning Key takeaway Getting the most from your GPS in 2026 isn’t about buying new kit — it’s about understanding the kit you already have. With the right training, a GPS becomes a genuine confidence tool rather than a frustration. If you’ve ever thought “I know my GPS does more than I use it for”, this episode is a great place to start.
