Using the Global Positioning System
Heartland Network Inventory and Monitoring Program. 2003. Using the Global Positioning System
This Standard Operating Procedure explains the procedures that all observers should follow when collecting geo-spatial data or navigating to sampling plots using a Mapping Grade GPS Receiver unit. This SOP is intended to complement but not replace the operations manual accompanying your GPS unit. Therefore, each observer must be familiar with the use of their particular GPS unit before entering the field to collect data or navigate between points.
