"Learn ArcPad in 1 day...Really!"

This seminar is aimed at field foresters who want to utilize color imagery, roads, streams, and other map data on Pocket PCs wherever they work. Participants will learn how to save time navigating to the job and from plot to plot.  They will learn how to easily collect data for roads, culverts, streams, and how to traverse units for acreage calculation. It is based on proven methods used by Atterbury foresters while timber cruising, laying out harvest units, and collecting a variety of GPS data. All participants will use ArcPad in a real timber environment. All participants will receive an evaluation copy of ArcPad 7.1.1

$395.00


Pocket PC units with ArcPad loaded will be provided. If you would like to purchase your own GPS unit, Pocket PC and ArcPad 7.1.1 for use in the seminar contact Paul Wroe by email.
