Finding any location, like an outcrop near the school, a tree or plant to identify on a field trip, or the sampling site for a stream study, is now as easy as entering its latitude and longitude with the coordinate marker tool.

Geocaching

Students enter a latitude, longitude coordinate into the Xplorer GLX and the GPS Position Sensor will place the ‘target’ location on a x, y grid. Students then move to find the target location as their GPS location is updated and recorded.

GPS Position Sensor

GPS Position Sensor (PS-2175)
