Thomas Varghese Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Welcome @Antony Abraham. U need to get a radio, a good flag, deflator, air compressor, a decent sized shovel to start off as a newbie. All these are available in Dragon Mart. Please watch all the videos prior to joining a drive with carnity to make you understand the club and its activities. See you soon in the sands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get a decent GPS to use and google maps was good during the desert drive but lost signals couple of times.

Frederic Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Many options: * GaiaGPS (works on Android and IOS). Gaia GPS For Beginners - Discussions - Carnity.com * Wikiloc (good for recording your tracks. basic functionality) * Mytrails (Android only).

Use Gaia app if you want to have a GPS. To be frank you don't need it for the time being. Marshal's are anyways leading the drive and they know where they are going. They are not going to leave you inside the desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
