GPS Systems Improve Accuracy Of Applications

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have become commonplace. Used in the car, GPS assists drivers in finding their way. In the tractor or applicator, it has an array of uses that make applications more accurate.

"GPS units are available to fit almost any budget and offer a wide range of uses," says Amy Winstead, regional Extension agent for the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. "Handheld GPS units are lightweight, inexpensive, portable devices used to provide navigation and basic mapping capabilities."

The units typically are purchased with some type of map, often accompanying the unit on a CD. However, it is best to have some idea of what you would like to do with the unit before purchasing so that you can purchase the correct unit and software to complete the task.
