Featuring Alex Willmer will give a talk on GPS and GIS. He says,
"Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) are to geography, what CAD is to
engineering. It's revolutionising the field; even whilst itself being
revolutionised by the likes of Google Earth & web mapping. I offer a tour of
the GIS landscape - the whats, the whos & the whys. A vaguely sciency bit
about the workings of GPS, with pictures. Demos of Free/Open Source GIS &
satellite navigation (satnav) software. A rundown of geospatial data
sources, free as in beer and otherwise. Finally a pitch for OpenStreetMap, a
project I'm involved with."
