Global Positioning System (GPS)

sent in by Wayde Dudley....

WHAT IS GPS ?

Wayde Dudley is planning a discussion of GPS. Everyone knows a little about GPS but not many know a lot. GPS is a reasonably simple method of calculating a position on the surface of the earth. Using that position together with accurate maps allows people to navigate their way to desired places.

The theory of GPS will be explained, what equipment is involved, accuracy of positioning, limitations, uses and truths and untruths.

Plan to attend this presentation and ask your questions about GPS. The time and place will be announced after we determine the level of interest.

Editors note... Wayde asked for a poll to be created to gauge interest in this class so you will see it on the left side of the page soon.
