[Cary Chevalier]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

FIRST, SORRY FOR ANY DOUBLE POSTING.  IT WAS NOT INTENDED!

I HAVE 4 SEATS LEFT IN THIS CERTIFIED USER MAPPING GPS WORKSHOP.  I WANT TO EXTEND ANOTHER INVITATION FOR YOU TO JOIN ME!  YOU MUST REGISTER BY 30 APRIL.  DETAILS BELOW!

Looking for that perfect opportunity to get up to speed with mapping GPS before your winter/spring classes or field seasons hit?  Have you always wanted to incorporate mapping GPS in your field ecology classes, but couldn’t find the time to get trained up?  Well, here is the perfect opportunity for all you over-stressed ecology teachers and professors to make your dream come true!  I would like to invite you to consider participating in the following Certified User Mapping GPS Workshop:

14-16 MAY 2008.

Each workshop is a total immersion 3-day workshop titled: INTRODUCTION TO GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS FOR MAPPING AND NAVIGATION.  Each workshop is limited to a maximum of 10 participants to insure quality instruction and lots of personal attention!

These courses generally fill quickly, so if you are interested, please reserve your place as soon as possible.  You may secure your reservation prior to payment, but arrangements for payment must be made by the time the session begins.

SCOPE OF COURSE:  This is an intro (but intense) course to mapping GPS with no prior experience in GPS required or expected. But you'll definitely be a GIS mapping-level GPS power tool when you're finished with this workshop.  We will train on TRIMBLE GEO XT  and XH mobile GIS GPS units with TERRASYNC PRO, and we will use PATHFINDER OFFICE integration software.  We will also learn to use bluetooth wireless communication, WAAS real-time differential, Coast Guard Beacon real-time differential.  These courses are taught by an experienced manufacturer Certified Trainer (me; Trimble Navigation, LTD).

If you would like to discuss the nature of these workshops, or if I can be of service in any way, feel free to contact me at your convenience!

These are professional workshops, designed to bring you “up to speed” quickly.  These are ideal workshops for professionals who want to gain operational competence quickly and also excellent workshops for students wanting to acquire these skills to increase their marketability! NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN MAPPING GPS NECESSARY OR EXPECTED!

I also can provide training at your site.  If you would like to host a workshop at your institution, contact me at your convenience!
