7 Remote Sensing  Remote Sensing Taking pictures of the earth from a distance

8 Remote Sensing  Geo-reference Assigning an image the proper geographic location Sensor Imagery: Infrared Thermal Volcano eruption detected by the MODIS Thermal Alert System GOES weather satellite showing infrared readings of atmospheric pressure

9 Global Positioning System (GPS) Automotive Navigation Pedestrian Navigation GPS GIS VS.

10 Global Positioning System (GPS)  GPS System of satellites used for determining positions on the earth 24 satellites 6 orbital planes

11 Global Positioning System (GPS)  GPS Receiver 3 GPS satellite signals Different styles and models Lower-end Consumer/Recreational High-end Precision Accuracy: Inches or LessEst. 50 Feet

12 Global Positioning System (GPS) GPS allows farmers to precisely plant seeds and spray crops, based on the tractor’s exact location on the Earth’s surface.
