UWEC Priory Property Navigation

On Wednesday, May 10th, the Field Methods class met at the UWEC Priory property used for housing and including a large chunk of forest. In separate groups the class used BadElf GPS units connected via bluetooth to an iPhone in conjunction with the navigation maps made earlier in the semester (the making of which can be seen in an earlier post below) to navigate to different points on the property and mark these points. The maps have UTM northings and eastings displayed in a grip format, and given the coordinates, the GPS unit, the map, and a compass, points were able to be found.
