There are many on-line tutorials that are very useful for GIS and GPS applications provided by their respective manufacturers and other organizations. Listed below are links to websites with tutorials provided by Trimble, USGS, and ESRI.
For a better understanding of GPS, select the Trimble: GPS Tutorial link. For an overview of GIS, check out the USGS site. For a variety of tutorials on specific GIS software from ESRI, select the ESRI Training and Education link. In order to take full advantage of the ESRI site, you will need to set up a training account. Through this account, you can view tutorials specific to ESRI software, such as ArcMap and ArcPad. You can also access "virtual seminars", teaching materials, etc. Most of the tutorials and seminars are available on a fee basis; however, if you are a member of the University of Georgia community, you may access the site for free with an access code. This must be obtained from your professor, superviser, or campus contact for ESRI.
