Learn everything you ever wanted to know about how to use a handheld GPS receiver! These materials are designed for people with no GPS experience, or basic GPS users who want to learn more about this ever more important technology. GPS & You I: GPS Basics is the first of the series (followed by GPS II: Pictures, Points & Places and GPS III: Tracks & Routes).

GPS II covers downloading GPS data from your GPS unit on to your computer for use in GIS programs and Google Earth. In addition, the materials cover the collection of digital photos in conjunction with GPS points, providing an interactive map of your pictures in GIS and Google Earth.

The workshop materials consist of the workshop manual (PDF), the presentations (PPT) and the data folders and files.
