GPS & GPS Software for use in New Zealand Available as a PDF on this page This paper is presented for those who may have a GPS device (unit) but do not really use it or are slightly in awe of the thing and was originally written based on the GPS devices used by the Bhutan Soil Survey (BSS) from 2001. Please note that this paper is not intended to be a guide to using the full potential of the GPS device but merely highlights features and some simple routines. The GPS mapping software presented and recommended here is OziExplorer. In addition, since the new NZTM Grid maps will be available soon a short section (3.3) has been added on loading / calibration required to get this new grid to show in OziExplorer. Available at www.lulu.com/hutcheon ISBN 978-0-473-14909-3 |
