Camping Navigation
Determine Your Exact Location With GPS Navigation System
A GPS system is a global positioning system that is designed to give you the position of the unit, and of course, yourself anywhere in the world by using signals sent to and received from satellites. In this manner, the Gps Unit can determine your exact location. There are a variety of uses also for a GPS system, many boats, cars, airplanes even people who hike or camp can and do carry a GPS system. Adding a GPS to a navigation system creates a more complete package and allows you to get directions and never have to worry about making a wrong turn.
There are a significant number of advantages when it comes to using GPS navigation system. One of these advantages is the ability to always know where you are. This is a valuable resource when it comes to heading out into areas you are not familiar with or if you are hiking, camping, or on a boat, getting back to an area you are familiar with.
The other advantage of using a GPS navigation system is the fact that in a car, it can, depending on the system you have speak the directions or show you where to go when it comes to making a turn. It can also tell you how long it will take to get there and allow you to make modifications to where you are going easily in cause of detours or the necessity of pulling off. On a boat it can tell you exactly where you are this comes in especially handy if for example, you are drifting due to an anchor coming loose or having been blown off course due to a storm.
There are a number of things to look for when picking out a GPS navigation system. The first thing to consider is what it is going to be used for. Is it going to be installed in a car, a boat or is it going to be used as a Hand Held device for use while camping or hiking. Once you have decided on an installed or hand held version you will need to look at the features offered by the GPS navigation system of your choice.
There are a variety of different features that comes with the range of GPS systems and usually the more features the more expensive so it's a good idea to know exactly what you are going to be using it for and what exactly you want before you go looking.
Finally, there is the consideration of price. Installed versions of the GPS system will cost more usually because they contain more features, more parts and do require installation while hand held units are usually the less expensive.

Mounting LCD TV to Stand?
Hiya have just purchased following TV and stand
http://www.dixons.co.uk/product.php?sku=488586&camp_id=ppc_tvcamp
http://www.littlewoodsdirect.com/rf/lxd/navigation/product.do?categoryId=7621286&spreadId=7509126&linkId=7541814
Problem is stand did not come with any screws etc to mount TV, and TV didn't either. Not sure what to get or where to get it from? Have trawled the internet for hours with no idea what I'm looking for. I guess I need four mounting screws - but does anyone have any suggestions as to where and what exactly I need? Thanks
Just spoke to samsung who told me I need screw M6 x L10. Searched for this on the internet again to no avail? Any ideas on where to get this screw in UK?
First make sure the holes on the stand match up to the threaded holes in the TV. If they do, all you need to do is go to store that sells screws etc (in the US we call it a hardware store). That is a common metric screw. You should have no problem finding one. I can even buy them at hardware stores here.
Make sure the screw threads into the TV easily and that it is not too long. You will know it is too long if it "bottoms out" and it is sticking out when it reaches the bottom.
Yes you will need 4 screws.
