[edit] Prerequisites
What should students already know/have accomplished before the lesson is presented.
Prior to this lesson, students have been introduced to the following concepts:
- map datums
- know the difference between NAD27 and WGS84/NAD83 and can determine which one a topographic map uses
- are able to set the map datum on their GPS
- UTM
- can set their GPS to display UTM
- can read the 3 components of a UTM from it: Zone, Easting, Northing
- can convert a 13 digit UTM to a 6 digit UTM
- can identify the failure modes of a GPS
[edit] Objectives
At the conclusion of this lesson Students will
- know how to read their current location on a specific model of GPS
- choose how long to wait for their current GPS location to settle
- build a visual/spacial sense of how the UTM grid overlays real land
- choose appropriate direction to walk to achieve intended changes to their current UTM
Advanced students will
- know how to enter waypoints into their GPS
- know how to get distance and bearing from their GPS
- for GPS's without magnetic sensors, get a sense of how far they need to travel for the GPS to know their current heading
