Day 2 - WK 1

Spent most of the morning looking at how the GT-31 operates and functions. We were having issues with the time and date functions being off by an hour, Jason was able to fix this.  Tried to upload files from the SD card.  Files had to be converted to a format usable to us in mapping the data so we had GPS Babel www.gpsbabel.org installed on our computers so that we counvert our GPS data files to .gpx format an upload them for shared usage among our group.  In the afternoon we were able to upload and view our GPS data on maps and view our tracks and well as see the errors and outlier data ( most of the time outliers were sharp points out and back in on the map)

Started researching how GPS systems work. Also, brainstormed on what we viewed as possible project deliverables for the RideShare group. Jason was also involved in the discussion. Jason was able to provide 2 additional 2GB SD memory cards for additional GT-31 usage. We now have capability for 8 trackers to be collection data.
