[Cary Chevalier]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

FIRST, SORRY FOR ANY DOUBLE POSTING.  IT WAS NOT INTENDED!

Are you all "funned out" on winter?  Are you Looking for that perfect
opportunity to get up to speed with mapping GPS before your SUMMER field
season hit?  WHILE THE WEATHER IS GREAT?  Here it is!  I would like to
invite you to consider participating in the following Certified User
Mapping GPS Workshop:
	
18-20 MAY 2011

Each workshop is a total immersion 3-day workshop titled: INTRODUCTION
TO GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS FOR MAPPING AND NAVIGATION.  Each workshop
is limited to a maximum of 10 participants to insure quality instruction
and lots of personal attention!

These courses generally fill quickly, so if you are interested, please
reserve your place as soon as possible.  You may secure your reservation
prior to payment, but arrangements for payment must be made by the time
the session begins.

SCOPE OF COURSE:  This is an intro (but intense) course to mapping GPS
with no prior experience in GPS required or expected. But you'll
definitely be a GIS mapping-level GPS power tool when you're finished
with this workshop!  We will train on TRIMBLE GEO XH mobile GIS GPS
units with TERRASYNC PRO, and we will use PATHFINDER OFFICE integration
software.  We will also learn to use bluetooth wireless communication,
WAAS real-time differential, Coast Guard Beacon real-time differential. 
These courses are taught by an experienced manufacturer Certified
Trainer (me; Trimble Navigation, LTD).
