1. Scope
1.1 This guide establishes the minimum knowledge, skills, and abilities required to use a GPS/GNSS 2 receiver to deter- mine one’s position, and collect location data, in the wilder- ness. 1.2 This guide applies to the use of a GPS/GNSS receiver on land, on and off roads, and on small bodies of water, wherever GPS/GNSS signals can be received. 1.3 This guide applies to the use ofa GPS/GNSS receiver in disaster areas where local positioning aids or references may be lost or damaged. 1.4 This guide does not apply to the use of a GPS/GNSS receiver on large bodies of water, at sea, or in the air. 1.5 A person who meets the requirements in this guide is only prepared to operate a GPS/GNSS receiver to determine his or her location, and collect position and movement information, in a wilderness environment. 1.6 This guide does not imply that a GPS/GNSS receiver is a replacement for a map and compass. Use of the latter is strongly recommended as a backup for GPS/GNSS navigation. 1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro- priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter- mine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use. 1.8 This international standard was developed in accor- dance with internationally recognized principles on standard- ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions ofTerms Specific to This Standard: 3.1.1 Galileo, n—a GNSS currently under development by the European Union. 3.1.2 GLONASS (Globalnaya navigatsionnaya sputnik- ovaya sistema), n—the GNSS owned and operated by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces. 3.1.3 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), n—a navigation system utilizing a constellation of dedicated satel- lites to determine a location on or above the earth’s surface. 3.1.4 GNSS receiver, n—a radio receiver that uses satellite signals to fix its location on or above the earth’s surface. 3.1.5 GPS (Global Positioning System), n—the GNSS owned and operated by the United States government. 3.1.6 map datum, n—the set of values used to define a particular geodetic model used by a GPS/GNSS receiver to determine its location. 3.2 Definitions of terms not defined in this standard can be found in ASTM Guide F1633, Guide F1773, and Guide F2209.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 This guide establishes the minimum knowledge, skills, and abilities required to use a GPS/GNSS receiver to determine a position and collect navigational data in the wilderness. A person trained to this guide shall be endorsed for Basic Wilderness GPS/GNSS Use (GPS/GNSS-IW Endorsed). 4.1.1 Every person who is endorsed for Basic Wilderness GPS/GNSS Use shall have met the requirements of this guide. 4.2 This guide is only the first level of training for wilder- ness GPS/GNSS use, and only establishes the minimum knowledge, skills, and abilities required for a person to use a GPS/GNSS receiver to determine his or her location and collect navigational data in a wilderness environment. No other skills are included or implied. 4.3 In addition to meeting the requirements of this guide, a person endorsed for Basic Wilderness GPS/GNSS Use shall also be adequately trained to travel and work in a wilderness environment. 4.4 Depending on the regulations or policies of the AHJ, additional knowledge, skills, or abilities may be required before a person who meets the requirements in this guide may use a GPS/GNSS receiver in a wilderness environment. 4.4.1 Nothing in this guide precludes an AHJ from adding additional requirements for its own members. 4.5 This guide by itselfis not a complete training document. It only specifies the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for an individual to be endorsed for Basic Wilderness GPS/GNSS Use. This guide may, however, be used in the development of, or as part of, a complete training document or program. 4.6 Though this guide establishes only minimum training, it does not imply that a person endorsed for Basic Wilderness GPS/GNSS Use is a “trainee,” “probationary,” or other similar term member of an organization. The AHJ is responsible for determining the requirements and qualifications for member or employee ratings.
