Introducing Kevin Bolton (Abbreviated version)© 1999 KJ Bolton, KJ Bolton Consultant cc
In September 2010 Garmin South Africa awarded Bolton’s GPS Warehouse as “The best” independent
Garmin Dealership in South Africa. Kevin was introduced during the awards evening by Richard Fearon the
CEO Garmin Distribution Africa (Pty) Ltd Garmap (Pty) Ltd as:
“Kevin Bolton AKA "Mr Navigation Africa".
"Kevin's independent and critical eye keeps us all on our toes. His vast experience in the topographical and navigation
arena set him apart from the crowd. Kevin's willingness to invest his time and knowledge at all levels in the navigation
sector continues to grow levels of professionalism and competence.
When I need independent industry perspective Kevin is up there on my ‘must call’ list."
As a boy scout, Kevin showed an interest in maps and mapping and after leaving school he joined the South African Defence Force. He attained a National Diploma in Topographical Surveying and at the time of leaving the South African National Defence Force, he held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the post of Staff Officer Grade 1, responsible for Map Production, Surveying and Navigation in the Army.
After his military career, Kevin registered and started KJ Bolton Consultant cc, specializing in Satellite Navigation and its related fields. He has written numerous articles since leaving the military, for social, recreational, technical and aviation magazines. Amongst others, the chapter on Satellite Navigation in Peter Baker’s book, 4x4 Africa Adventure and since 2004, the monthly column in SA 4x4, “Directionally Speaking”
As a member of the Sappers Foundation, a veteran organisation, Kevin has also been involved in the Institute for Military Engineering in Southern Africa. Of interest is that he was the course leader during a Mine Action Management Course (Lifting of Land Mines), presented for the SADC (Southern Africa Development Community) and sponsored by the European Union.
Kevin was invited to join VISTA RESEARCH, a member of the Society of Industry Leaders ("SIL") in the USA as an expert in the field of Satellite Navigation / GPS technology in 2006.
A few interesting initiatives that Kevin was involved in included; trying to measure the depth of the black hole in outer space; the continental shift; the surveying of the Namibian Coast line in preparation for Namibia’s independence and during the uprising in Kenya, Kevin lectured the security staff of the United Nations in Satellite Navigation.
Kevin was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sappers Foundation and currently serves as the National President of the Sappers Foundation. He is a part time lecturer at the University of Johannesburg where he has lectures the Medical Rescue students, at Tshwane University of Technology, the Eco Tourism students and at UNISA Botanists in the subject Satellite Navigation.
Kevin is also a family man. He has three children, Brendon, Bronwyn Anne and Christopher and is now married to Madeleine. He believes that Satellite Navigation and the GPS can be a family tool and can contribute to family activities and fun.
Looking forward to seeing you for what we believe could be a very informative evening!
Regards,
Chris & Team
