Hello, ALL
I am seeking advice as to whether a Garmin E-Trex handheld GPS unit
would be sufficient (in terms of relative accuracy) to do natural resources
mapping, particularly mapping of trails, fences, & wetlands for a local
nature conservancy. I use this same unit for quick & dirty mapping for my
job (overlaying GPS points on 1:24,000 scale USGS quads or aerial
photography). However, I have been asked to set up a GPS standard for this
group and want to make sure that I don't need a more expensive GPS unit. I
use ArcView 3.1 to map the GPS locations.
The accuracy doesn't need to be survey quality (sub-meter).
However, we want to be able to record coordinates and go back to these
locations w/out ending up in another universe... Will this $120 Garmin GPS
unit be sufficient or would you recommend an upgrade?
Any Thoughts Would Be Appreciated!
Thank You,
Amin Davis
