Outline 1. Objective 2. Global Positioning System(GPS) 3. GPS Activities 4. Future Applications

Objective To determine if ‘GPS Mission’ will enhance physical activity (PA) among college students

Global Positioning System (GPS) Gives your position on earth with the information sent by satellites to the GPS receiver

GPS Drawing Drawing a picture on the earth’s surface by using a GPS receiver

GPS Geocaching A scavenger hunt that uses GPS as the treasure map

GPS Mission ‘GPS Mission’ is a FREE smartphone application which requires the user to move between locations to reach ‘checkpoints’ and collect virtual gold

GPS Mission

Mission

Future Applications Stealth Health A University of Arizona study funded by the USDA investigating how technology can stealthily increase a person’s health
