  4. Vision: GPS.gov as Central Pillar of U.S. GPS Outreach Campaign • Promote positive U.S. message that builds public confidence and trust in GPS • Provide up-to-date information and official USG response to news events • Dispel myths, correct misinformation • Offer one-stop portal for information • Reduce need for printed outreach materials • Engage GPS stakeholders • Partnership between the NAVCEN and the NCO

  5. Stakeholder Groups To Be Served • General Public/Users • Experts/Developers • Media • Congressional Staff • Internationals • Students/Educators YOU

  6. Ideas for Expanded Content • Current GPS Status • Constellation size • Known issues (in English) • Latest News • Feature stories on current topics • Press releases, presentations • Upcoming events • Tutorials & Multimedia • Outreach videos • How GPS works • How augmentations work • Launch videos • Image library • Applications • Application of the month • PDF brochure (5 languages) • Searchable database • GPS Modernization • Description and status info • Augmentation Systems • Descriptions and status info • U.S. Policy & Funding • Overview (in English) • International cooperation • Reference documents • Legislation • Congressional funding status • Newsletter • Technical Support • FAQ • Anomaly reporting overview w/ link to NAVCEN • ICD’s, ICWG info

  7.

Note: Enabling user-generated content requires policy/legal/security reviews and major IT investments

  8. Layouts Tailored for Stakeholders • Default homepage will be designed to serve general public • Lots of graphics, videos, interactives • Minimal text, written for lay audience • Visitors can switch homepage layouts to view content most useful to them • For experts: technical documents, policy • For media: releases, upcoming events, images • For Congress: budget requests, funding/bill status • For internationals: policy, cooperation, translation • For students: tutorials, quiz, applications

  9. Thoughts to Consider • What does the general public expect to find at a website called “GPS.gov”? • A consumer guide to GPS user equipment? • A place to report erroneous map data? • A forum to voice concerns about GPS privacy? • Information about Galileo? • What does a GPS expert expect to find? • Which of the proposed website improvements matter the most to you? The least? Comments/inputs welcome – this is not a survey
