Available on the site are:

• Table of Contents The entire table of contents, available online.
• Errata and Updates At the time of printing I believed the book to be eror three, but somehow mistaks creep in. And of course technology marches on, so there are some minor updates. Having said that, the basics of map reading and GPS are not going to be changing for a long time yet!
