Overview
While retaining the in depth description of a GPS and its applications to GIS from the highly-acclaimed, bestselling previous edition, this new version includes a discussion of general procedures. This discussion allows the information to be applied to a variety of products and to remain useful as technology changes. Instead of specifying the details of every procedure within the text, it guides readers on what it is and where to locate it for that product. Aiding the process are chapters complete with an overview and exercises to be completed with GPS equipment or a PC. Updates to this edition also include ArcGis Desktop, ESRI software, and a new accompanying CD.Synopsis
