[RC]   GPS - April Johnson
 
 So do we need to clear it with ride management to use a GPS on the trail? 
I've never done a ride with a GPS, but I'm training with one and was 
planning to use it on my next ride in September. 
 
I think it's a great tool and I can't see how rule 6 would proclude its use. 
It's not a human, vehicle, or another horse. It's just a big calculator to 
me that tells me how far I've gone, how fast I'm going, and my average 
speed. I can get that by looking at the trail map and my watch, right? Gonna 
ban my watch and trail map? And the GPS has the added benefit of getting me 
back to camp if I get lost for some reason. (Anybody can follow an arrow, 
right? :) ). The GPS just allows me to concentrate on my horse and the trail 
without having to do annoying calculations in my head to see how fast/far 
we've gone. 
 
Just curious. I don't get the endurance news. I'm planning on getting my 
membership in December.
