GPS III covers more sophisticated navigation and data collection. After a brief orientation to tracks and routes, the workshop materials focus on learning to collect tracks (including lines and areas) and to navigate along previously collected tracks (lines) and routes (a series of points). Trimble Mission Planning software is also discussed. GPS & You I: GPS Basics is the first of the series (followed by GPS II: Pictures, Points & Places and GPS III: Tracks & Routes).
GPS & You III: Tracks & Routes materials
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.
The workshop materials consist of the workshop manual (PDF) and the presentations (PPT).
The manual contains the following sections:
1. Data Collection: Tracks
2. Track & Route Navigation
3. Mission Planning
