Steps Done on
Project:
1) Obtain Trimble GPS
Unit from NRE school
2) Map Island Lake by taking
a line measurement every 4 seconds while riding the
trail. I had to ride slowly
and carefully especially around corners and through areas with
thick canopy to ensure accurate data collection with the
GPS.
I collected 929 data points over the course of a 16 mile
trail
3) Take various point
measurements along trail that have latitude, longitude, and
elevation
4) Obtain Topo Map of
southeastern Livingston County where Island Lake is located from
Dr. Arlinghaus
5) Superimpose
collected data on Michigan data
6) Import current
information to website
7) Add links to other
trails to website
8) Add images of other
bike photos to website
9) Make map have virtual
reality so you can "ride" the trail
