We Can Plot Your GPS Data
Wild Rose provides a vital link between your GPS
or other Earth coordinates, and high-quality topographic maps
from the USGS and other sources.
We can make an inexpensive "gpsMap" of your travels from
Global Positioning System (GPS) location or track data,
or printed or hand-written coordinates. The resulting high-resolution maps can include text and pictures. We can print on glossy or water-resistant paper, or send you a computer file for use with publishing or mapping programs. NOTE: Mapping takes plenty of time and effort. Our contract programming work is also time-consuming, and that work is currently crowding out the possibility of taking on new map work. Please feel welcome to write or call. We enjoy being helpful, and sharing a love for maps, gps, and the great outdoors. What's a gpsMap? The gpsMap shown here is a mountain bike track. Coordinate data from a GPS receiver is plotted over a USGS 7.5 minute topographic map. A GPS "waypoint" is shown as a square box, with the name "C5B" nearby. The dashed line is the mountain bike's "track", recorded with a handlebar-mounted GPS receiver. Direction of travel is downhill, toward the colored end of the dashes. Complicated? There's a lot behind the scenes, but that's why we're here: to make mapping easy and affordable. You can e-mail, call, or write us with questions. Our approach is user-friendly, and our experience guarantees great results, like those you see here. For a short course on how to tell GPS data from map datum, our GPS Hints and Map Hints chapters are right here, ready to help. They're easy to read and well-illustrated, with real-world examples and references for further research. Keep in mind that web pages have limited resolution - about 80 dots per inch, so be sure to get our brochure, which includes some high-res examples. |
