Global Positioning System Information

The following GPS activities for Lowrance/Eagle and Trimble GPS receivers were developed by the Precision Agriculture Educators Network (PrAEN) as part of a National Science Foundation Grant.

Tad Mueller, Agriculture Sales & Services Instructor at Northeast Iowa Community College in Calmar, has also posted activities and materials to be used with any receiver. In addition to accessing these items here, you may also contact Tad (muellert@nicc.cc.ia.us) to receive his materials on CD-ROM.

When using any of the materials, credit should be given to the developers. These are PDFs therefore you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them.
