Continued technological advances and decreased costs have altered the GPS vendor landscape significantly and opened the door to an array of receiver and software options. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetaining the in-depth description that made the previous edition so popular, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Global Positioning System and ArcGIS, Third Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e has expanded its coverage to review the capabilities and features common to most receivers. While it emphasizes Trimble and Magellan hardware and Trimble TerraSync and ESRI ArcPad software to capture data, the text’s broadened coverage makes it useful with virtually any hardware\/software packages, so readers will be able to collect GPS data and install it in ArcGIS—regardless of the data capture mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering the latest developments in this emerging field, the third edition has been updated to include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew information on automated data collection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdates to the conversion of GPS data into GIS form with ArcGIS Desktop (v. 9.3) as well as ESRI software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn examination of differential correction and improvements in accuracy of collected data \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdditional emphasis on ArcMap and Pathfinder Office\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrations using ArcMap to combine GPS data with other data sets including raster DRGs, DOQs, DEMs, and various vector data sets \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a top-down approach, each chapter begins with a theoretical overview followed by self-study exercises and projects that provide step-by-step guidance on applying the concepts using GPS hardware or a PC.
