With a GPS data collection system we receive signals from satellites orbiting the planet. The GPS system includes a receiver to detect the satellite signals and a computer that uses the signals to calculate the longitude, latitude and elevation on the surface of the planet. By applying correctional data collected at a stationary GPS base-station the accuracy of the data collected by the roving GPS system is dramatically improved to less than one meter of error. GPS provides the means to collect accurate data very rapidly, hence it is very cost effective. We use the GPS data that we collect to create a variety of maps. These include
Maintenance Maps Consumer Maps Site Maps	Special Event Maps Locator Maps Planning Maps
Because our maps are appealing to the eye, they are useful as marketing tools and visual aids to park users. At the same time they can provide precise information useful for park maintenance and planning such as

Location of Maintenance Items Area of Coverage Linear Footage

We can produce large maps to scale, as well as smaller, very high-resolution maps, and digital maps for web sites.
