What is GPS?
•Constellation of satellites
•Developed by Department of Defense
•Used 24 hrs./day anywhere on Earth
![Page 3: GPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/568146af550346895db3cbb3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
•Dead reckoning- `direction calculated by last position.
•Land-based positioning -Uses radio towers, Must have three towers
•Satellite-based positioning-AKA. Global positioning system. GPS for short.
Where on Earth are We?

The Pseudo-random code.
GPS systems use a complicated digital code to record information and send their signal for our receivers. The advantage is with these codes you can also make time measurements.
Satellites not only transmit a pseudo-random code for timing but also transmit a “Data Message” about there exact orbital location and their systems health

Quick plan= a scale that gives you PDOP and Nsats in order to calculate good data collecting days and times
PDOP=positional dilution of precision
Nsats= satellites numbers available

Some Starting Questions •What do we need to know about mapping?
•What should we Map?
•When finished how will people use our map?
•What type of data do we need gathered?
![Page 23: GPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/568146af550346895db3cbb3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
•What kind of equipment do we need?
•How long will it take? Will we be finished by the end of the year?
•What efforts shall we undertake to prepare future students interested in GPS mapping?
Some Starting Questions
![Page 24: GPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/568146af550346895db3cbb3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How we use GPS1. Look at Quick Plan program to find when the data collection will be good.
2. Decide what we want to map.
3. Make a data dictionary for sorting our data.
4. Begin mapping area in interest.
![Page 25: GPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/568146af550346895db3cbb3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
5. When we’re done we return to school and load the data in to the computer.
6. After reviewing the data, we decide whether to remap or correct.
7. Retrieve internet correction files from http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-test/ufcors2.prl,
to differentially correct data.
8.Export to ArcView.
![Page 26: GPS](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/568146af550346895db3cbb3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Problems we hadThe battery going dead when mapping, Poor data reception, Weather, School Conflicts, illnesses
Not being able to correct our data files.
Transportation problems during the winter.
Technology problems with computers
Among many others

Pathfinder Office
We use Pathfinder to analyze correct, export, and delete data. We also set up data dictionaries which it an organizer for data, form here we can load and unload data from the GPS receiver.
ArcView
In ArcView we are able to set projections placing items were they need to be, also can create good looking maps of what we are doing. Here we can set specific values for different features giving them distinction from other data layers.

What Vegetation Types Do Deer Prefer?

Our Hypothesis:Deer Prefer Areas Dominated By Oak, Aspen, and Pine Vegetation.

Where Did We Get The Background For Our Hypothesis?
“Deer trail abundance suggested a strong preference for open, aspen, and jack pine habitats. Lower deer use occurred in oak and red pine habitats…….If the management objective is to maintain the existing deer habitat suitability in central Wisconsin, we recommend maintaining as much of the existing open, aspen, and jack pine habitats as possible.”

To Summarize
• “Deer trail abundance suggested a strong preference for open, aspen, and jack pine habitats. Lower deer use occurred in oak and red pine habitats…….”
• While we found that deer prefer vegetation dominated by oak and pine, they also prefer open fields surrounded by oak and pine vegetation.
