BACKGROUND
As a Geospatial Analyst, I have researched GPS (Global Positioning Systems) mapping technology for over five years in order to
incease the level of map detail at higher scales in order to more accurately navigate remote backcountry areas using a basic
Garmin GPS receiver.
The purpose of this project is to develop better IMG format GPS Basemaps using more detailed layers such as trails and property boundaries
from state, local, federal, and custom GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data sources. My work also includes creating custom parcel
travel packets for locating, navigating, and analyzing realestate parcels using a combination of Maps, custom GPS boundary track files,
and viewshed/slope analyses.
In recent years, the amount and diversity of geospatial location based data has exploded with the advent of sophisticated GIS mapping
software and hardware applications. The large amounts of data generated from these software suites are becoming increasingly available to the public
through a variety of sources such as Utah's AGRC,
Google Earth,
USGS National Map,
and ESRI.
As the amount and complexity of geospatial data increases, the modes and methods of
communicating the data to users must also increase and diversify.
