GPS

·         We are well experienced in the use of GPS for aerial or ground based data capture.  We have  2 Leica GPS units and all associated hardware and software for data capture, correction and seamless integration into digital maps.

·         We currently use GPS technology for much of our forestry related data capture.  We have had good success in using a helicopter mount to collect information over large geographic areas quickly and efficiently (pine beetle surveys for example).
