The Global Positioning System and ArcGIS

Retaining the in-depth description of GPS and its applications to GIS that made the first edition so popular, this updated edition of a bestseller includes a discussion of general procedures that allows the text to be applicable to a variety of hardware/software products. The text details how to use GPS as a source of input to GIS regardless of the data capture mechanism. Each chapter provides an overview of each topic followed by excercises and projects. Updates to this edition include ArcGis Desktop, ESRI software, and an accompanying CD with GPS data sets for exercises in Trimble SSF and ESRI shapefile formats-plus other valuable learning resources.
