JON HENNING KEVIN KOWALCHUK ALEX SUMMITT GLE 444: Practical Applications of GPS Mapping the Henry Vilas Zoo

Presentation Overview 1. Introduction 2. Methods and Data 3. Data Analysis 4. Results and Discussion 5. Conclusion and Recommendations

Introduction Objectives: Create a virtual ‘Vilas’ zoo experience Motivation: Single map to pre-plan a visit Accuracy: 1-10 m (~5 m) Audience: Henry Vilas Zoo visitors Location: Madison, WI

Methods and Data Equipment:  3 hand-held GPS units, digital camera, laptop Duration:  27 waypoints  minutes a piece, total: 7 hours Type of Data:  Position coordinates  Digital photographs  Written descriptions

Precision

Precision Comparison of Longitude and Latitude Want to determine if we have better measurements of either latitude or longitude Since all data is clustered around 1:1, there is no bias

Receiver Comparison

Lessons Learned 1. Interference: trees! 2. Dress for weather 3. Bring extra batteries 4. TIME!

Specifications Met Most points fell within the accuracy range of 1 – 10 m Four points in particular varied greater than the expected 1 – 10 m accuracy One point could not be taken due to interference Google Earth showed accurate locations to interpret between different animal exhibits and locations.

Final Results Google Earth
