Navigation Map

Introduction
For the final lab exercise of the year, the GEOG 336 course used navigation maps that were created in a previous lab of Priory Hall, a residence hall belonging to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The class was divided into groups of three and the task was to locate given coordinates that lay within the vicinity of Priory Hall using the previously-made maps, a GPS app for iPhones and GPS devices to track the trail each group took to find these coordinates. The priory (Figure 1) lies nestled in a heavy wood which make it tough to navigate based on intuition alone. Once the coordinates were found, each group marked the tree with paint (Figure 2), detailing the point number and which group had found it. In this blog Group 3's trail had been tracked.

Results
The resulting map shows the coordinates that Group 3 found along with the trail they tool to get there (Figure 3).
