These Powerpoint presentations were created for educational purposes only. These presentations were created to train university students and municipalities how to use Garmin and Trimble GPS dataloggers and how to process GPS data for use in a GIS. The presentations incorporate information offered on the web, and graphics provided in the product manuals of Garmin Etrex Legend and Vista GPS units and the Trimble ProXR. Special Thanks to Alan Murphy creator GPS Utility and Heinrich Pfeifer creator of Gartrip Shareware, Garmin.com and Trimble.com.
