Training
Accurate Data Collection using GPS
Goal
During a one-day training course, the trainees will learn
describing the theoretical backgrounds of Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) combined with a series of practical field
exercises.
Training Topics
Map projections
The UTM system
The WGS 84 System
Mapping
Stake-out
Logging
Hot linking
Accuracy
Hands-on instructions and answering questions
Mapping of an area
Downloading / Uploading
 Training
GPS for the Professional
Goal
During a three day course, the trainee will learn the
theoretical aspects of GPS and participate in active field data
collection. The main goal of the training course is to be able
to conduct an independent professional survey using GPS:
datacollection downloading data dataprocessing integration
of GPS data into GIS.
Training Topics
Day 1: Theoretical lessons on the use of GPS and its
application
Map projections
The UTM system
The WGS 84 System
Mapping
Logging
What are Waypoints and how are they used
Applying GPS as a tool for GIS
GIS layers and bounded database fields
Hot linking
Accuracy
Day 2: Practical instructions and Questions
Hands-on instructions and answering questions
Mapping of an area
Downloading / Uploading
Downloading data into a mapping system (Arcview)
Road alignment
Reporting - Printing - Plotting
Day 3: Fieldwork with Survey crew
Static Base-point Survey
Satellite availability
SA
Accuracy considerations
Database setup
Downloading data
Mapping with GPS
Updating a GIS dataset with GPS data
Training Map Projections for GIS and Surveying
Goal
This one-day-course for GIS-users, foresters, miners,
hunters or other users of carthographic material is meant to
explain the different aspects of map-projection methods. The
training focusses on the correct use of GPS and GIS and the
interpretation of existing cartographic material of Suriname,
different mapping methods are explained to establish correct
digital geographical data. The training will be a theoretical
explanation of the different topics, a short field survey and
the dataprocessing and map-calibration using Desktop GIS
software.
Training Topics
Coordinates & datums
Spherical coordinates
Spheroide coordinates
Cartesian coordinates
Reference Surfaces
Global, regional & local datums
Datum-transformations
Map projections
Sphere & spheroide
Cylindrical projections
Azimuth-projections
Cone projections
GPS - System overview
GPS WGS84 coordinates
GPS field survey
