GPS Links / Waypoint Databases

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an excellent tool that can be used to get from one location to another easily, or to see where you are at any point of the earth. Many Amateurs use GPS to determine their grid-square, or to operate APRS. Below are links to very informative websites to satisfy your curiosity of GPS. You will also find links to many GPS waypoint databases, which have the longitude / latitude of many locations and points around your particular location! Enjoy.

	Sam Wormley's GPS Resources - Links to maps, GPS status, waypoint databases, etc. One of the best GPS sites I know of.
	GPSinformation.net - General GPS information, product reviews, etc. This is another one of the best GPS sites hosted by Joe Mehaffey, Jack Yeazel, and Dale DePriest.
	NM Search and Rescue Resources - If you're looking for digitized maps of New Mexico, this is the place to go!
	GPS Visualizer - Plot your GPS tracks on a variety of maps including TopoZone maps and Google Earth!

	GPS Nuts Homepage - Even more GPS info to help answer any question you may have!
	NGS Geographic Names Information System - A searchable database of almost 2 million physical and cultural geographic features in the United States.
	NGS Data Sheet By Area - Enter GPS coordinates, and learn of NGS survey markers/disks within a two mile radius of that point.
	International Waypoint Registry - Database of waypoints entered by GPS users.
	Wayhoo - An excellent waypoint database.
	SwopNet Waypoint DataBank
	GeoCaching.com - Since Selective Availability (SA) has been eliminated, many people are hiding "stashes" that contain neat items in many places around the world -- for you to find with your GPS if you're in the area! The only rule: If you take something from the stash (which you are allowed to), you must leave something. Have fun!
	The Degree Confluence Project Homepage - The goal of this project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take at least one picture at each location. These pictures are on this website!
	sci.geo.satellite-nav GPS Internet Newsgroup - A great newsgroup for all things GPS...
	alt.satellite.gps Internet Newsgroup - ...and another!
