GPS Technology

Lesson: Technology Brings the Sport to Everyone

With GPS technology, we can watch the Beargrease from the comfort of our home or school.  Today I saw multiple generations out to enjoy the race start.  Once the teams are out on the trail, we can know exactly where the teams are out on the trail.  

Do you know how GPS works?  Did you know the trackers Beargrease mushers are using now will go out to the mushers of the Iditarod next?
