GPS Drawing project, IDAT106

For IDAT 106 i was given a task to go out with a GPS tracking device, in this case a PDA, and create a pattern by walking around campus. For my drawing i decided to map out the letter "b". Below you can see the results.


As you can see by looking at the purple pattern on the map you can see the letter "b", hopefully!

I was then asked to go out and walk the same route as shown by the pattern and take some photo's of the walk. Once i had the photo's i then used the image above and put the images onto it with arrows showing where they were taken.
The end result is below.


I was then asked to think of a way to show the route in another way, some of the ideas i came up with were to walk the route and describe what i saw into a paragraph or to take a video of me walking the route. In the end i decided to go out and video the route. Here it is below, hopefully it works ok when this post is made live.



That was my study of the route i decided to take on the campus, i hope you enjoyed my material. Thanks.
