Whilst on our various holidays in Greece, The Canary Islands, England, New Zealand, Portugal and so on we have often gone out walking and one of the interesting things to do is track our routes with our Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, then on return load it all up onto our laptop and see just where we got lost this time. There are quite a few maps out now which are often extremely accurate but you may need to set them up / calibrate on your pc with some known co-ordinates - these readings below might help.

These are just a few of the readings we have taken - it's worth taking a look
at some of our holiday guides
topics - particularly the walks described - since there are often GPS readings
displayed relevant to the destinations within the topics.
As far as readings in England are concerned please see our variety of
English Walks where there are many GPS readings
displayed throughout the topics to help with navigation on the variety of walks
around the Chilterns and elsewhere in England.
These Books about England - Canals & Rivers, Churches and English Nature may be of interest.
We have many countries covered on our travel and holiday guides - please take a look at our
Greek Islands and Athens travel and holiday guides which cover around 30 Greek Islands. See our
Foxys Travel Guides for topics on touring and holidays in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, India, Egypt, Bali, Cyprus,
New Zealand, The Algarve, several Canary Islands, Thailand, China and Singapore.
Please visit our Home Page for items about quite a few of our English Canals, Canal Arms and River Navigations, 100s of English Church and Wild Flower Photographs and also we have quite a few walks described.
