Requirement
4. How GPS works, then teach the unit using EDGE
Required Often forgotten
Two things: an explanation of the system, and a demonstration to your counselor using Scouting's EDGE method, marking and editing a waypoint, changing field functions, and changing the coordinate system.
Notes and warnings
Note. The demonstration is given using Scouting's EDGE method: explain, demonstrate, guide, enable. That is a teaching method, so read it before the session rather than assuming a walkthrough will do.
