LOL I know how you feel mate, when the company I work for first purchased all the GPS Survey gear, I was given the "this is the on button" and a load of books, then the "good luck old chap" and booted into the field...LOL no tutorials for that either. I eventually made up some of my own which the lads use to this day...it certainly does help with an experienced person giving you guidance.
Yep heres to a bigger and better year ahead for us all!
