DRS GPS census device couples as key support for GCSE syllabus
Published: 17 September, 2009
With the new geography GCSE syllabus, starting September 2009, to include the use of GPS devices, education technology provider DRS is planning to offer its own GPS device to the education market. Designed as probably the world's simplest GPS device, this unique device was originally intended for census population registration projects around the world, for use in field data collection activities, but is well placed to be used in the new curriculum due to its simplicity and robustness. The DRS GPS device determines exact latitude and longitude location to an accuracy of less than three metres. There is no menu system to navigate; the user simply switches it on, and once the satellite positions are fixed, the coordinates are displayed. The device is fully compatible with all geographic information system applications to support the national curriculum and is suitable for use in Key Stage two, three and four. Related articles:
