GPS for GIS Workshop
Integration of GIS and GPS Technologies Course Description:
This workshop will introduce GIS users to the basic concepts, functionality,
accuracy issues and processes of data collection via GPS, demonstrate the integration
of GPS data into a GIS, and illustrate how positional error within GPS data
may affect the results of a GIS project. Particular attention will be given
to the long term effects (i.e. cost savings) of the collection and proper use
of accurate data, practical GPS/GIS guidance and good data collection procedures.
In addition, attendees will learn about current CSCIC programs and available
resources for use in the integration of GPS and GIS technologies.
A free DVD of this workshop is available upon request to the NYS Office of Cyber Security & Critical Infrastructure Coordination.
