3.  Backpack gets a GPS measurement from the satellite. Bounces signals through atmosphere which may change the accuracy.  Base station at known location tells the back pack the difference between satellite’s signal and it’s actual location.  Backpack in radio contact with the base station.

4.  GPS -- RTK-GPS technology Measures height from given sea levels Data from base station communicated by UHF radio to roving unit Gives horizontal and vertical resolution GPS takes into account surveyors height  Methods Put on GPS backpack Enter height to calibrate Begin at end of one transect, hit START button, slowly walk transect, hit STOP button at end Repeat for transects 1 thru 10

5.  Import raw data from GPS into GIS  Download White Point Swash images and files from SCDNR website (images: pictures of area, files: lat. long. coordinates)  Change the shape file (ours) to state plane feet to coordinate with SCDNR data  Change symbology Change points of elevation colors Classify elevation increments (more, less, different numbers)  Add scale and compass rose

21.  White Point Swash surveying  Elevation data of 10 transects and 2 channels  Elevation data (“z”) imported into Excel Transects 1-10  Raw x,y,z data imported in GIS Colors assigned according to depth  Data overlaid onto a SCDNR aerial photo Photo had GPS coordinates (align w/ data)
