This class will introduce Garmin handheld GPS (GPSMAP@76CSx) and Leica GPS
RS20.Handheld GPS is usually used by the public for positioning and navigation while
ground-based GPS such as Leica GPS RS20 is usually used for land survey and other high
precision mapping. Handheld GPS gives 3 to 10 meter accuracy while ground-based GPS
could provide millimetre level accuracy horizontally but with slightly less precise vertical
measurements.

Handheld GPS Instrument

First, go to satellite interface. The main interface provides the current position,
satellite distribution, and number of received signal and signal strength. Then,
your current coordinate system was set up by press “pages” button until main
menu interface appears on the screen. Then, select “setup” menu and press
“enter” button. The setup menu interface was appeared screen. Choose “units”
menu and the unit setup interface will appear.

After that, in the “units” interface, your desired coordinate system was set up. We
use Malaysia Coordinate system that is:

i. Position format is West Malayan RSO

ii. Map Datum is Kertau 1948
iii. Distance/Speed in Metric
iv. Elavation (vert.speed) in Meters (m/sec)
v. Depth in meter
vi. Temperature in Celsius
vii. Pressure in milibars

Go to “satellite” interface, wait for better accuracy and stable signal, press “enter”
button and hold until “mark waypoint” interface appear. Mark waypoint is used to
save current location.

After determining desired location name, button OK was clicked to save it. You can
also navigate your way to specific location by entering the specific coordinate in
“location” field. Then, for navigation purpose, press “find button and then “find”
interface will appear. Select “waypoint” and press enter. “Waypoint” interface will
appear and select your desired point for your navigation.

For our group (group E), we must find latitude (3⁰00’18.1”) and longitude (101⁰43’11.2”)

First, GARMIN hand-held GPS was on. Old data in the GPS was clear up.

Our current position was setting up by press “pages” button until main menu
interface appears on the screen.

Then, select “setup” menu and press “enter” button. The setup menu interface was
appeared screen.

Choose “units” menu and the unit setup interface will appear and then, our
desired coordinate system was setting up.

After that, go to “satellite” interface, wait for better accuracy and stable signal,
press “enter” button and hold until “mark waypoint” interface appear.

Our location name was determined and OK should be click to save.

Our location name was determined and OK should be click to save. Then, click go
and reached our destination

To save coordinate, go to position and press button “remark” and record the data.

First, 10 different building have been selected. Using GARMIN Handheld GPS,
coordinate of each corner of building together elevation data was saved.

Then, 5 different road have selected. Using GARMIN Handheld GPS, coordinate
of each corner for two side of road together elevation data was saved.

For lake, the coordinate of each corner of lake also was taken using
GARMIN Handheld GPS and was saved.

Lastly, one place that have elevation was selected. Position and elevation of that
place have got and saved.

1. The data have been download from device into laptop/PC by using the USB
cable.

 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING ECV3511

First, Map Source software should be install in your laptop. Then, GARMIN
Handheld GPS was connected to your laptop via USB cable to download data from
device. To download data from device to your laptop is easy, that just click
“receive from device” icon and done.

To view data that have been collected, just click “waypoint” and data will show in
screen.

For search a location with known coordinate, click on “find>>fine place”. Then fine
your place.

Lastly, click “find” and a list of waypoints will appear in “place”. “Make waypoint”
should be click and the known coordinate will put in “waypoint properties ”. For
example insert the coordinate for temporary bench mark in Faculty of Engineering
UPM N3⁰0.505’ E101⁰43.222’.

 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING ECV3511

To generate contour map using the data that have been collected, Expert GPS and Autocad
software should been install in laptop/PC

The data have been download from device into laptop/PC by using the USB
cable.

The map of place that have coordinated was create by using the Expert GPS
software. Insert data into this software and find place to get map.

For contour map, using the Autocad software by insert the elevation data into
that software.

DISCUSSION

16 | P a g e
 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING ECV3511

Global Navigation System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation system found fro the
constellations of 24 satellites and their ground stations.GPS use the satellites as references
point to calculate the positions which it can receive signal from at least four satellites.The
constellation providing signal from space and transmitting positioning and timing data.US
Department of Defences (DOD) has develop GPS originally for military use which has
develop started 1970’s and fully operate in 1995.

In this practical, we had use Garmin hand-held GPSMAP 64s to do the tracking and
navigation. Basically there are two types of GPS which are :

GPS Characteristics on Accuracy

Hand-held GPS 3 to 10 metres accuracy

Ground-based GPS Millimetres level accuracy

Tables 1 shows the types of GPS and their characteristics on accuracy.

In Exercise 1 , we are told to locate a horizontal control point with the given coordinate
which is:

NORTHING (LATITUDE) EASTING (LONGITUDE)

3 3° 00ʼ 18.1ʼʼ ° ʼ
101 43 11.2
ʼʼ

Table 2 shows the given coordinate of waypoint that we have to locate.

Before we commenced to find the waypoint, we have to setup the receiver’s map units to
Maps Datum:WGS84.Make sure to clear any previously stored waypoints from receiver
memory.After entering the coordinate given, we started to move according to the direction
shown in the GPS and reach the waypoint which was besides the library of Faculty of
Engineering.
After reaching the waypoint,another group which had the same coordinate with our group
also reach their waypoint but our position is slightly different for about 0.5metres distances
between each other. So,we find out that it may occur because our number of received signal
and signal strength from the GPS may be differ from the other group.

17 | P a g e
 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING ECV3511

In Exercise 2, we are required to select 10 different buildings,5 differents roads and lake.We
have to take and save the coordinate for each buildings,roads and lake and also the elevation
data using the same GPS device that we use in conducting exercise 1.We start out to take the
coordinate of the lake with total 12 points and remark it as L(002) to L(020).Next,we took the
coordinate for each corner of 10 building which remarks as B1(021) to B10(068) with total
waypoint,58 points.For roads, the total waypoint was 43 points which remark as R1(069) to
R5(111).Lastly for elevation, we took 4points and remarks as E(112) to E(115).So, the total
coordinate that we took is 113. All these coordinate is automatically saved inside the Hand-
held GPS.

After we have taken all the required coordinate, we transferred the data into ExpertGPS on
PC by using a cable that provided by the lab assistant. We can saw clearly all the waypoints
that we took.The photo appears show the exact position of each waypoints but we noticed
that some waypoints did not appears in the exact position on where we took it.

Hence,can conclude that there might be some error that occur while we using the GPS.For
instance,the GPS may receive less number of signal and have lead to weak signal
strength.Thus,before we click “MARK” on the GPS, we must check on the signal distribution
of the GPS. We have to stand in one place with the GPS unit away from our body for a few
minutes to get a sufficient number of satellites with strong signal strengths. The accuracy of
the readings will be very poor if we were rushed to collect of data.

RECOMMENDATION

18 | P a g e
 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING ECV3511

 The battery of the Handheld GPS must be full in order to accomplish the work
without any disturbance.

 The previous data need to reset to avoid confusion between new data and old data
and make the new setting for the new data.

 The number of coordinates of the point that key in the Handheld GPS must be correct
to avoid the Handheld GPS give the wrong direction.

 The consistency of position place in order to take the coordinates of point due it
have different coordinates inside and outside building.

 The mark of the location must not be too far from the location to get the accurate of
the coordinate.

CONCLUSION

GPS is originally designed for US military forces but GPS has evolved to fulfill tasks
never imagined in its original designer’s requirements.It now being used across the world in a
variety of applications . One of the first considerations on using the GPS is determining the
number of satellites that will be available for the particular area before collect the data. We
need to make sure that the GPS that we use is well operate .We also need to consider the
number of received signal and signal strength in order to get high accuracy of reading
data.Hence, there is still room for improvement for GPS and through R&D and we will find it
being used more and more in our daily lives.
