so, how do we use GPS?
cool.
GPS is critical to fieldwork
• Routing
• Navigation
• Wayfinding
• Feature level verification
• Context (what’s nearby?)
in 10 years,
we went from this toolset:
To this one:
GPS-enabled smart devices
Advantages
• Can build custom apps around GPS
• Cellular + Wi-Fi accuracy augmentation
• Mapping toolkits in mobile OSes
• Speed
Disadvantages
• Heavy power consumption
• Accuracy not high enough (sometimes)
• Expensive (potentially)
Gains in efficiency + workflow
outweigh the potential drawbacks.
