This three-day hands-on workshop is designed for participants with little or no working experience with mapping-grade Global Positioning Systems and techniques. The workshop will cover basic concepts of GPS as well as basic operation of data loggers, receivers, and antennas. Various strategies for collecting positional data in the field will be presented and practiced. Techniques for using real-time and post-processing differential GPS data will be practiced.

Post-processing and editing data collected in the field and exporting the data to a spatial graphics package (like CAD or Geographic Information System-GIS) will be covered. Participants will gain experience using real-time differential GPS for navigation to locations using differential GPS beacons and satellite differential GPS.

This workshop will be a mix of lectures, demonstrations, hands-on computer activities and field exercises with GPS equipment and support software.
