Bellwork Have you ever used a GPS? Do you know how it works? Have your homework out to check.

Agenda Bellwork: GPS pre-knowledge Check HW (Map Types Chart) Notes: GPS/GIS Examples on Smartboard HW: practice using GIS

GPS GPS = Global Positioning System – 12 satellites (just for the US) that transmit data to and from your handheld unit – Track/display location – Examples: Garmin/Tom Tom in cars Phones 911 call center military

GIS GIS = geographic information systems – Computer programs that make maps – Can show relationships between places using “layers” – Examples: Deciding on a new location of a store Finding a pattern in earthquakes across the US Tracking crime (BLUE CRUSH)
