Workshop 2012 (Spring) - Mapping from Total Station data in Arcmap 10

This workshop walks through the process of generating maps from Total Station data in Arcmap. It is developed on ArcGIS 10.0 (sp4) and therefore tools and procedures may be different in other versions. The basic procedure involves saving the SDR file generated by SokkiaLink into a Point shapefile, then using the Points to Line and the Feature to Polygon tools in ArcToolbox Data Management Tools to convert these points into polygons. Finally we generate a map using these data.

iTrek Z1 GPS datalogger precision test

The iTrek Z1 datalogger GPS with a solar panel is based on the MTK chipset produced beginning in Q1 2007. I brought this GPS data logger, along with three other GPS units, on an ethnoarchaeological research project in Peru in 2007 where we travelled with a traditional salt-bearing caravan for 14 days, and I gathered 9 days of data logging with the iTrek Z1. I conducted this test to evaluate the precision of the GPS in the southern hemiphere where there is no WAAS.
