Who Has Used The Newton With A GPS?

0

The Newton has a successful history of use with GPS receivers and data collection. Many of the institutions that used Newtons had incredible foresight, and realized that this little green/black box was the product of the future. While a complete listing of all the institutions who have used the Newton as a data collection device will probably never exist, a few highlights include: • The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) used (and in some places still uses) Newtons for soil mapping, historical resource conservation, project management, and environmental assessment. A report on the project can be downloaded here. • The Canadien Geological Survey used Newtons to aid in creating a comprehensive geologic bedrock map of Canada, and published a report on the project. • The University of Kent, Computer Science Department used Newtons as part of a program called Mobile Computing in a Fieldwork Environment • The National Park Service’s Chihuahuan Desert Lab at Carlsbad Caverns Nation
