shrug-l: crowd sourcing equipment

[Erin McCormick]

I would suggest having your students download the Collector for ArcGIS app on their smartphones and make temporary logins available to your students, I am sure your GIS administrator could assist in making some temporary logins.  They can utilize their smartphones to learn the software and the workflow of publishing to ArcGIS Online, this will be of much more benefit since that is the direction much of the GIS Community is heading right now.  I would be happy to assist in creating some web maps that you can use in the field for data collection.  Since this is for educational purposes I don't think the accuracy of an external receiver would be of as much benefit as learning the latest GIS mobile software/wrokflow.

Thanks,
Erin

Subject: shrug-l: crowd sourcing equipment

Greetings colleagues.  I am teaching and advanced course in GIS for natural resource and environmental sciences at FAMU.  Enrollment in the course has been increasing and I am appealing to the professional community to see if anyone out there can help me with some equipment.  I teach an outdoor exercise where students use a handheld GPS unit to collect points and create a layer file.  I am looking for any old working handheld GPS receivers.  I don't need fancy, and expensive, newer models.  Just something that collects a lat/long, but not an automobile GPS.  If anyone has an old eTrex or similar unit laying around that you don't use or want anymore I and my students would greatly appreciate any donations.

Thanks for your support,

Katherine
