Why and when shall we use GPS?
- Shall not be used for sprint maps
- Useful when no base map is available
- Or only aerial photo is present
- Early phase – creating base map, polygons
- Might not be fast for later processes

What kind of unit? - “Hobby” type will be fine - We don't need professional units (cost 5000 €<)
- At least 2, but preferably 3-4 different ones
- High sensitive receiver (SiRF III< , MTK, etc.)
- External antenna is highly recommended - Forget the “built-in” types (Forerunner and others) and the car navigation systems - Look for the trackpoint memory

~350 € ~20 €
~60 € ~60 € ~60 €

How to use? - All GPS work simultaneously
- Use distance based recording (~3m) instead of time interval, if possible. - Along with the “analog” accessories (board, pen, notes)
- Try to keep them as high as possible(special cap, backpack)
- Try to plan your work according to the satellites' positions
- One track is not a track. Try to track main features more than once in different time period.
- Use waypoints

- Download your work with your favourite program - Edit it - erase unnecessary parts
- Filter it if you used time interval method
- Convert it to .gpx formatIf needed, use gpsbabel to do that
- Transform from WGS'84 to the desired projectionMy suggestion is GlobalMapper

- GlobalMapper supports any kind of projection(OCAD supports only the most commonly used)
- Watch for the map datum and projection(according to your source)
- Bearing must not distort
(it's a must for any kind of topographic map)
Why do we need GlobalMapper if OCAD is
present?

Magnetic declination - Orienteering maps represent magnetic North

Advantages-
Disadvantages
+ Saving time+ Better accuracy in certain cases+ Reference aerial photos (GM/OCAD)+ Combine mapmakers’s work
- Pine forest, deep valleys - Height (z-level) data - More work for preparing - Costs?
