Navigation & GPS Training

Navigating in the field is a skill that every environmental person should have. Not only is it important from a safety standpoint, but improves your ability to mark groundwater wells, effluent discharge points, and water quality monitoring locations

Marking waypoints also provides the option to map these locations and communicate them electronically, for example on Google Maps. The Navigation course provides the learner with the tools to navigate in the field with the aid of a GPS device and to mark points that can be traceable. A demonstration of mapping waypoints will also be shown.
