This exercise is part of the QGIS Tutorial 2013/14.
In this exercise you'll get an introduction on how to handle a GPS receiver and how to process data in QGIS

During the practical exercise, we work with the GPS receiver Trimble Juno 3B by Trimble navigation. Of course, there are different GPS navigation devices on the market, supplied by several manufacturers, e.g. those listed wikipedia page.


Getting started with the GPS receiver

Startup and configuration

  1. Press the power button for a few seconds
  2. Open the windows menu and select TerraSync --> Professional Edition. Wait for a few minutes, until you get a connection to at least three satellites.
  3. Set the coordinate system and other parameters
    1. To set the coordinate system and other parameters, select Upper --> Setup.
    2. Set all parameters to the desired configuration and confirm with Done. You are now ready to navigate.

=Navigation

To find a specific spatial point:

  1. Set the target
    1. Select Upper --> Data --> Lower --> Existing Data/New
    2. Select the folder containing the data (e.g. the tree-waypoints used in the exercise) and click Open.
    3. Select the point you want to navigate to (e.g. Tree01.
    4. Click Options-->Set Nav Target and set the point you selected before.
  2. Set the background map
    1. Select Upper --> Map.
    2. Click Layers and check the Background and GNSS trail boxes. The background map should now be displayed.
