GPS Collection

The map above represents a portion of the University of Belize Belmopan Campus. Students were assigned to collect GPS coordinates for three trees which are clearly shown to be a, Cotton Tree, Almond Tree and a Coconut Tree. The second activity was to record the directions, using GPS coordinates, from one point to another. Group #2 recorded coordinates from the Gymnasium to the Bookstore. Lastly students collected GPS coordinates for the library building; note that the area of the building was also calculated here. After the raw data was collected, it was imported into Arc map and a shapefile was created and edited following several detailed instructions. Finally a base map and other standard map elements were added.
