GPS at Casey
| Like all the ANARE continental stations, Casey has GPS equipment and a number of routes off station which have been marked with canes and waypoints at regular intervals. As there is little to differentiate the landscape to provide a point of reference, and blizzard conditions during which there is little or no visibility are common, all who plan to travel off station must know how to navigate using GPS. All over-snow vehicles are fitted with GPS navigation equipment, and hand-held GPS equipment is available for those who need it. See also:
