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.
