Preface
The term "geo-position" is an abbreviation of geographic position, which refers to the geographic coordinates, or latitude and longitude, of natural resource or cultural features on or near the earth's surface. The Geo-Positioning Selection Guide for Resource Management started as a professional paper in 1988 for the first International Symposium on Advanced Technology in Natural Resource Management. It was published in the Resource Technology 88 proceedings as GIS Resource Data and GPS by John B. Keating, Jr. Since the initial publication of that paper, geo-positional technology has improved and acquisition costs have decreased; subsequently, the need for information about obtaining geographic coordinates on resource or cultural phenomena has greatly expanded.
This guide is a general reference that provides a limited amount of information about major or unique geo-positioning technologies. It is intended to help resource managers and specialists learn more about the tools available for mapping geographic coordinates for Geographic Information Systems (GIS); however, potential users of these technologies should check with their agencies' technical experts for additional information on specific capabilities of existing systems. Eventually, this guide will become part of a more complex handbook which will provide more technical mapping and geo-positioning reference materials to GIS and mapping science professionals and technicians.
There are two parts to this guide. This first part consists of general narrative describing the many different systems and their relationships to each other. The second part is a fold-out wall chart that has the geo-positioning technologies organized by their accuracy levels and cross-referenced to their discipline by color. The chart can be used with the guide or on its own as a reference for making daily decisions in minerals, renewable resources, and operations field activities.
