  1. GPS to GIS:Top 10 GPS for GIS Skills ANDREW CAREY ELI CRAWLEY

  2. Objectives • Check List for Project Planning • GPS for the Office • GIS for the Field Food for Thought Real Examples

  3. THE WHAT – GIS ? A Geographic Information System or GIS is a computer system that allows you to map, model, query, and analyze large quantities of data within a single database according to their location. • Create maps • Integrate information • Visualize scenarios • Present powerful ideas, and • Develop effective solutions!!! http://www.epa.gov/reg3esd1/data/gis.htm

  4. THE WHAT - GPS? GPS – Global Positioning System (US Dept of Defence) GNSS – Global Navigation Satellite System – generic term for all satellite navigation systems GLONASS – GLObalNAvigationSatellite System (Russian System)

  5. THE WHY COMMUNICATION ! Field - Office Personnel

  8. 2. Projections • Datum • Map Projection • World File

  9. 2. Projections Assigning a .prj to your Trimble export will allow other programs to read and know the coordinate system and datum the data is in. To attach a prj…

  10. 2. Projections Under the coordinate system tab ---Bottom next to Projection File click Browse, to ESRI “Coordinate Systems” 64 – Bit C:\Programs Files x86 \ArcGIS\Desktop\CoordinateSystem 32 – Bit C:\ProgramsFiles\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\CoordinateSystem

  11. 3. Data Prep • Time Spent Prior to Data collection, Time Reduction in the Field • Drop Downs and Domains, Quick Data Acquisitions • How do people identify objects, Common vs Scientific
