The goal in this lab was to become familiar with the basics of collecting GPS data in the field. The process used included learning the basics of the Trimble Juno GPS through instructor demonstration, creating a geodatabase, preparing the database for deployment to the GPS using ArcPad Data Manager, loading the geodatabse onto the GPS, collecting point, line, and polygon features using the GPS, and checking the collected data back into ArcGIS to produce a map. The resulting map shows the points, lines, and polygons that I collected with the Trimble Juno. The light poles, trees, footbridge, and campus mall/grassy areas were features that I mapped, and the buildings had been previouslly collected by students in the past. Everything was overlayed on top of an aerial image of the campus.
