CompassTools
  • Solutions For
  • GIS Field Data Collection

2
What is GPS?
  • 24 Satellites in Final Constellation
  • Satellites in Very High Orbit (20,200 km)
  • Continuous Availability
  • 6 to 11 SVs Always in View
  • World Wide Coverage
  • Passive Service
  • Unlimited Number of Users
  • Resistance to Interference and Jamming
  • Allows Common Grid Reference

3
Grades of GPS
  • Recreational (100 - 1,000)
  • 10 meter accuracy
  • Mapping (3,000 - 20,000)
  • 10cm - 5 meter accuracy
  • Survey (8,000 - 200,000)
  • 1mm - 5cm accuracy

4
Ways GPS can be used
  • Mapping
  • Recording something, somewhere
  • What do I have?
  • Navigation
  • Finding something, somewhere
  • Where is it?
  • Updating
  • Verifying something, somewhere
  • Is the information I have correct?

5
Rugged CE Device
6
Basic Mapping Unit
7
GeoXT and XM
  • Handheld self-contained GPS/GIS data collection
    and maintenance tool
  • productive data collection
  • real-time DGPS withBoB or WAAS
  • GIS datamaintenance
  • sub-meter accuracy or
  • 2-5 meter accuracy

8
Beacon-on-a-Belt (BoB)
Your ideal real-time companion
  • Real-time DGPS
  • Cable-free ergonomics
  • Easy to use

GPS Field Collector
Full functionality - GIS data collection and
maintenance software
11
GPS Pathfinder Pro XR / XRS
  • Decimeter, differential GPS / GIS data collection
    tool
  • Integrated technology
  • GPS Beacon Satellite
  • Satellite differential
  • (LandStar and OmniSTAR)
  • Dynamic decimeter accuracy
  • 10-30cm for points, lines, areas
  • Choice of Asset Surveyor or ASPEN software

12
Data Collection
  • Collection of spatial data
  • Points, Lines, Areas
  • Offset locations
  • 10cm to 5 meter precision
  • Customized attributeinformation
  • Menu lists, Text, Numeric, Dates and times
  • Multiple data dictionary support
  • Infield data dictionary creation

13
Data Collection
14
Data Maintenance
  • Relocate featuresgraphically
  • Verify and updatepositions and attributes
  • Changes trackedautomatically
  • Add new features
  • Integrate changes back into GIS

15
Data Maintenance
16
Real-time Map
  • Display features as you map or update them
  • Easy zoom control
  • Filter by
  • feature type
  • time
  • update status

17
Navigation
  • Navigate directly to features
  • Use antenna for real-time DGPS precision
  • Both grades of mapping
  • receivers (XRS and GeoXT/XM)
  • support precise
  • navigation

18
Navigation
Feature relocation
19
Applications
  • Utility and Urban Asset Databases
  • Utility poles
  • Road centerlines
  • Transportation
  • Urbaninfrastructure

20
Who is using GPS?
  • Colorado Open Space
  • Maximize personnel
  • Road inventory Line
  • Weed Mapping Area
  • Inventory Point
  • Colorado State Parks
  • Seasonal staff
  • Trail mapping
  • Plant species inventory
  • Park infrastructure

21
Map Display
  • Provides a graphical display of your field data
  • Ability to display attribute information along
    with features on the map
  • Easily identify features for updating
  • Allows you to digitize new
  • features

22
Offsets
Collect location without visiting site
23
External Sensors
  • GPS can be linked to other electronic metering
    devices such as
  • Laser rangefinders for GPS offsets
  • Depth finders for lake-bottom mapping
  • Digital Cameras
  • Examples of applications
  • Water Quality Analysis
  • Magnetic Field Strength
  • Radiation Levels

24
Do you need raster backgrounds with GPS?
25
Imagery Options
  • Pixel Sizes
  • 10m, 1m, 0.5m, 1ft, 6 in
  • Accuracy
  • Simple Rectification - depends on amount of GCPs
  • Orthorectification - 1-2 meters typical
  • Spectral
  • Grayscale
  • Color
