Figure 1. Survey data as it is
downloaded from your GPS receiver (GPSr) into free software
(see below), where appropriate waypoints are linked
with lines.
Figure 2. Shows how you can merge
many individual surveys into an area or site map. (Waypoints have
been hidden for clarity)
Figure 1 data is on the western side.
Figure 3. Show that you can then zoom into any
part of the area or site survey to select which part to map.
This data is then imported into a graphics program where you produce
your final map which can contain as many layers of detail as you
require.
Figure 4. Show a map drawn using the above
data.
The style of lines and symbols used can be varied as much as
you like. All if the above lines and symbols where either
already in the graphics software, or created by the graphics
software, or imported into the software.
Figure 5. Chapters in the book show you haw you
can use your GPS data in Google Earth (see below) and as a data
layer on digital mapping.
