  1. Canine Search Specialist Training STM Unit: Mapping

  2. Unit Objective Upon completion of this unit, you will possess a basic understanding of how maps are used for land navigation and be familiar with the practical applications of map reading for accurate navigation

  3. Enabling Objectives • Define basic mapping terms • Compare electronic and paper maps • Describe position format and datum • Interchange waypoints between GPS unit and paper map • Use a map and GPS unit to navigate

  4. The History of Maps • Primary navigation tool for centuries • Geospheric Earth to a flat map Has GPS made mapsOBSOLETE?

  5. Maps • Maps incorporate projections and datums • All maps distort Earth • Different maps can be used with GPS • Datum and coordinate system must match

  6. Reading Maps

  7. Reading Maps: USGS Topographical • Title • Top Right Corner • Details • Bottom Left Margin • Who made map • Datums • UTM Zone • USNG Zone • Map Scale • Center Bottom

  8. U.S. National Grid 100,000-m Square ID 3 00 TJ UJ 43 00 TH UH Grid Zone Designation 18S Reading Maps: USGS Topographical • USNG Grid Reference Box / Legend • Located in the Key section of map • May be variations for the 100,000m Square Identifications

  9. Map Scales • Relationship between distance on ground and distance on map • Most common • 1:24,000 – 7.5 min • Scale bars • Feet and miles • Meters and kilometers

  10. GPS Map Datum • Over 100 different Datums in GPS • Listed on bottom of map • Match map and GPS Datum’s • World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) • FEMA US&R Standard and Aircraft • North American Datum 1927 (NAD 27)* • USGS Topographical Maps * For Navigation in Continental United States NAD 27 CONUS

  11. Meade Ranch (Clarke 1866) Projections and Datums of the United States

  12. A set of coordinates can yield different positions due to different datums WGS72 Datum Shift NAD83/WGS84 NAD27 (true position) NAD27 Greenland Bermuda 1957

  13. GPS Uses WGS84 and ECEF User selects the datum and coordinate system for display purposes only. Datum Coordinate System Receiver’s processor always performs calculations in WGS84 and Earth Centered Earth Fixed (ECEF).

  14. Coordinate Systems Different coordinates represent same location hddd0 mm’ ss.s”: N 430 40’ 55.8” X W 1160 17’ 14.1” (55.8” / 60 = .93’) hddd0 mm.mmm’: N 430 40.93’ X W 1160 17.235’ (40.93’ / 60 = .682160) hddd.ddddd0 :N 43.682160 X W 116.287250 UTM/UPS: 11T 0557442m E 4836621m N USNG/MGRS: 11T NJ 57440 36624

  15. Setting GPS to North • Set GPS to North, True or Magnetic. • GPS is NOT a compass

  16. Key Points to Remember • For FEMA GPS usage • Set GPS Datum to WGS84 • Set GPS Coordinate to hdddº mm.mmm’ • OR MGRS / USNG • Set GPS to North, True or Magnetic • For USGS Topographical Maps • Datum NAD27 (GPS to NAD27 CONUS) • Coordinate to hdddº mm’ ss.s”

  46. United States National Grid(USNG)

  47. United States National Grid (USNG) • Persons using different brand maps will be able to communicate using same grid system • Paper maps that use the USNG will be easily used in conjunction with GPS receivers

  48. USNG (continued) • Supplements conventional street addresses and provides locations away from the road network Department of Interior 1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20006 USNG: 18SUJ22850705 (NAD 83)

  49. USNG (continued) • A single system that can be taught to all citizens in the school system, and that can be used in any community across the nation • Can be uniformly truncated at various levels of precision • Basis for building a street and feature index database that can be used with any map product or device that uses the standard grid
